accessibility and usability
enhancements for MOSS.
HiSoftware President and CEO, Kurt

more of the population requiring
assistive technology to access Web
sites, creating accessible Internets
and intranets are an important issue
and a growing concern for the
European Community and across the
globe. We are pleased to demonstrate
the co-developed Accessibility Kit
for SharePoint (AKS) with Microsoft
to the European Commission.
Solutions like the open-source AKS
help address the Commission’s
accessibility goals by providing
users with building blocks to more
easily create accessible Web sites.”
The event is organized jointly by
the Portuguese Government and the
European Commission, and will bring
Ministers and leaders in the field
of e-Inclusion together to consider
key aspects and challenges. The main
themes for this event are: Economics
of e-Inclusion, e-Accessibility
Legislation, Digital Literacy and
Competences, and Active Ageing at
