Siteimprove Chooses Equidox as their PDF Remediation Partner
MINNEAPOLIS, April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Siteimprove, the world's most comprehensive digital optimization platform, is partnering with Equidox by Onix, a leading PDF Remediation software developer and accessibility services provider, to offer PDF document remediation services to US clients through referral and collaboration.
Fifteen percent of the world's population lives with a disability that may impact how they use the internet, and on top of that, the world's aging population is predicted to triple by 2050. That makes creating accessible PDFs, which are often the only way for these website visitors to access content, of the utmost importance.
This partnership, based on a shared belief in the importance of accessibility beyond the basics of legal compliance and in conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards, will further Siteimprove and Equidox's ambition to meet the needs of both their clients and assistive technology end-users.
Equidox's fast, easy-to-use, semi-automated PDF remediation software is aimed at clients who want the ease of remediating documents in-house. To enable this, training and support are included with licenses. In addition, Equidox provides PDF conversion services. Their document remediation specialists efficiently convert inaccessible PDF files into WCAG 2.0 AA-compliant HTML and accessible PDF and EPUB 2 content, with a focus on usability and a rigorous validation process. Equidox also provides customized, artificial intelligence-driven batch processing for large quantities of similar documents to make them accessible.
"Partnering with industry-leading companies on our accessibility solutions can unlock extra benefits for our customers," said Kevin Rydberg, Managing Accessibility Consultant at Siteimprove. "Equidox is a trailblazer in PDF remediation, and we are excited to collaborate with them and extend this vital service to our clients."
"Accessibility is not about checking boxes," says Ryan Pugh, Director of Accessibility for Equidox. "It's about reaching everyone. Equidox and Siteimprove both believe in going beyond compliance and be sure that digital information is not just accessible, but usable. Assistive technology users are not satisfied until that standard is met, and neither are we at Equidox."
Siteimprove offers the world's most comprehensive cloud-based Digital Presence Optimization (DPO) software, including industry-leading accessibility tools. Siteimprove also provides best-in-class technical support, academy courses, testing, consulting services, and technology integrations.
