UserWay and ShortPoint Partner to Make Intranet Sites More Accessible

ShortPoint integrates the UserWay accessibility solutions to its platform, establishing total accessibility for people with disabilities amongst their 6 million+ users

UserWay, the world’s leading AI-Powered web accessibility company and ShortPoint, the leading intranet design software company, announced their partnership to ensure SharePoint sites designed with ShortPoint are fully accessible and ADA compliant. UserWay’s accessibility technology ensures WCAG and ADA compliance for websites, making them accessible to blind, visually impaired users and people with disabilities. The new partnership is a powerful testament to the importance of accessibility and compliance not only for publicly facing sites, but also for intranets and digital contents accessed by organizations’ employees and team members.

With over 60 million people in the United States alone living with disabilities, web accessibility has been an increasingly complex and critical issue – in 2020, there were over 3,500 accessibility-related lawsuits against company websites violating ADA regulations. The UserWay AI-Powered accessibility solution not only safeguards companies against accessibility lawsuits, but it also creates a more inclusive user experience for the 1+ billion people around the world who live with disabilities.
