VPAT Services
HiSoftware is an industry leader in
optimizing the process and content of voluntary product
accessibility templates (VPATs). We are currently the only
company chosen to coordinate the VPAT XML process for
private industry and the Federal government—and we are
leading the way for the future of the VPAT process.
Optimizing VPAT Processes for
Accuracy, Speed, and Repeatability
Some of the world’s largest software
companies have asked our team to help them optimize their
VPAT processes to meet their company’s specific needs. This
provides an immediate return on investment (ROI) because it
helps them win new sales and improve customer loyalty. It
also makes internal VPATs processes effortless by flattening
the learning curve and reducing pushback. This work
typically includes:
-
Targeted Government Customer
Input -Because our team members have spent
countless hours working alongside government procurement
executives, we can easily convene focus groups that
identify where your company’s VPATs can be improved.
-
Response Flowcharts
- Working with your product teams, we apply our
expertise to develop flowcharts that make it very easy
for your product teams to identify their responses.
-
Template-Based Responses
- To further ensure repeatability and objectivity, we
can develop tailored templates that dovetail with the
response flowcharts. This gives our customers:
-
Tight
management of exact wording of VPATs
-
Easy
migration to new VPAT policies
-
Reduced
pushback by flattening the learning curve
-
Most
importantly, content specifically tailored to customer
needs.
VPAT Authoring
Many of our customers are either smaller
companies that cannot justify a comprehensive VPAT approach
or larger companies needing a better VPAT to promote a
particular product. In these cases, we use a standardized
flowchart and template approach, either in combination with
application or web content assessment services to easily and
quickly provide our customers with VPATs that are objective,
repeatable, and highly-tailored to the needs of government
buyers.
