University of Maine
The University of Maine purchased a campus wide site license for AccVerify and AccRepair from HiSoftware along with AccMonitor Compliance Server. AccVerify provides for the verification of accessibility policy and standards required for Web sites under the Rehabilitation Act Section 508 and W3C® Priority 1 guidelines. As information is added to a Web site, AccVerify reports on whether all elements are in compliance. AccRepair uses the reporting and verification components of AccVerify to launch a repair “wizard” interface, which prompts the user to correct accessibility errors. AccRepair also uses a library that “learns” as repairs are made. Corrections of the same error (for example, associating "alt-text" behind an image) need only be made once.  Read the Full Maine Case Study
