Concord, NH – March 20, 2006 –
HiSoftware, a leading provider of
software, services and managed
operation solutions that audit,
monitor and optimize Web content,
quality and regulatory compliance,
will be a lead sponsor and presenter
at the upcoming CATS conference in
Monterey, CA between March 20 – 22,
2006. Dana Simberkoff, Vice President
of Business Development will be
presenting “Educational Accessibility
- AccMonitor for Education”. The
presentation will feature a case study
analysis of several California State
Universities (CSU) using HiSoftware
solutions including, CSU-San
Bernardino, CSU-Bakersfield, CSU-San
Marcos and CSU-Northridge.
“We are extremely pleased to be
supported by HiSoftware during the
upcoming CATS conference through their
Diamond Sponsorship,” states Joan
Canfield, Director of E-Learning
Services at CSU-Bakersfield and one of
the CATS Conference Planners. “As a
user of HiSoftware, CSU-B could not
have possibly managed the amount of
labor required to check and repair the
pages of our over 200+ departmental
web sites. AccMonitor provides with
the technical assurance that meets our
stringent accessibility and compliance
demands.”
The Community of Academic Technology
Staff (CATS) Conferences focuses on
the major themes, issues, topics, and
technological and educational advances
influencing the direction of academic
technology. Conference goals include
providing useful information and
training about current and emerging
technologies, and sharing strategies
to support faculty use of technology.
“It’s important for us to interact and
get feedback from our valued user
community,” said HiSoftware president
and CEO Kurt A. Mueffelmann. “With
almost a dozen CSU campuses currently
HiSoftware users, the CATS conference
will give us an opportunity to listen
and receive feedback to the on-going
requirements of our most important
asset – our customers.”
CSU-Northridge is the latest campus to
select HiSoftware. “We've made the
HiSoftware suite of tools part of our
accessibility framework along with the
full-scale deployment of Adobe Studio
8 and campus wide accessibility
training,” states Joseph Karr O'Connor
– CSU-N Manager University Web
Communications. “The HiSoftware
solution will allow us to create an
accessible Web template system that we
hope is adopted by departments and
colleges to make it easier to create
accessible content.”
