CommonLook® Section 508 for the Web
Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act requires U.S. Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Many state governments, municipal governments and corporations have adapted Section 508 as the baseline for accessibility standards. CommonLook™ Section 508 Edition is the ideal diagnostic tool to assist Government agencies and corporations in their Section 508 compliance work.
CommonLook is an enterprise compliance management tool allowing Government agencies to manage the compliance data for their entire enterprise. High-Level reports allow managers to view the level of enterprise compliance, broken down by Website.
