TecAccess
LLC, an award-winning provider of Section 508
compliance, W3C Standards, and electronic and
information technology (E&IT) accessibility solutions,
has been featured in the "Money" segment of U.S. News & World Reportonline. U.S. News & World Report has a
nationwide circulation of more than two million and
an online and print readership of more than 13 million.
"TecAccess got a surge of new clients after the federal government amended a law in 2001 to say that technology had to be accessible for people with disabilities," writes U.S. News & World Report. "The company now counts major corporations and government agencies as clients."
The highly anticipated article explains how technology is accessible if it can be used just as effectively by people with disabilities as it can by those without. Many people are surprised to learn just how much of the world´s population is affected by a disability and how valuable accessible design is to private industry, government, and educational institutions.
To understand the impact, the 2000 U.S. Census indicates that people with disabilities are one of the largest and fastest growing minority groups. It is becoming clear that public and private entities who make their technology accessible can reach a largely untapped market, which the President´s Executive Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities says represents over $220 billion in discretionary income.
TecAccess, along with other industry analysts, expect that this buying power will quickly exceed the $1 trillion mark in the years ahead. The compelling evidence of the purchasing power of this market segment makes it clear that businesses need to conduct operations in ways that will attract customers with disabilities to their goods and services.
Assisting government and private industry with this mission, TecAccess has applied an award-winning suite of accessible IT solutions to help clients conform to industry and government regulations and accessibility standards. TecAccess´ associates are the premier experts in accessibility, W3C standards, Section 508, and Section 255 compliance solutions.
