WAI Client: AAA - Highest Level of Accessibility
With the WAI client Fabasoft eGov-Suite is leading the way in the e-government field. With the AAA-compliant WAI client, a powerful tool is available for blind and visually handicapped people as well as for people with other special access needs.
For people with special needs, working with a computer poses a challenge and many software products do not help. The European Union recognised this fact and brought the "Action Plan eEurope 2002" into being three years ago. This action plan requires that all citizens should have access to information..One country-specific outcome of this action plan is the BITV conformity declaration. BITV stands for accessible information technology regulation of the federation in Germany, which is aligned to the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
As part of the Web Accessibility Initiative, the W3C has released several WAI guidelines, which are accepted as standard. The WAI guidelines form the basis for laws demanding accessibility. In the public sector, accessible web pages not only desirable but mandated in many cases.
With the WAI client, Fabasoft eGov-Suite meets the AAA level of the WAI guidelines and thus provides for the highest level of accessibility.
