ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the third consecutive year, Level Access, the leading provider of digital accessibility solutions, is a recognized vendor in the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Digital Accessibility. This latest report specifically mentions the company’s recent acquisition of UserWay, noting that the acquisition will broaden Level Access’s offering to serve more clients committed to digital accessibility.
“It is our aim to equip every organization with the best solution set for their unique digital accessibility goals, whether they’re managing one website or a portfolio of complex digital products,” said Tim Springer, Founder and CEO of Level Access. “From our perspective, inclusion in this latest Gartner Market Guide, with analysts mentioning our acquisition of UserWay, further validates our comprehensive approach.”
Gartner defines the digital accessibility market as the set of vendors that provide platforms with tools and professional services designed to ensure digital products and content are compatible with assistive technology for people with disabilities. Gartner specifically notes 12 capabilities for buyers to consider, including essential tools for scanning, and reporting and analytics, as well as developer tools, color contrast checkers, code suggestion tools, manual testing and auditing services, monitoring and maintenance capabilities, document accessibility solutions, training and education, and legal support and consultation.
Also listed in the report capabilities are overlay technologies that provide automated remediation—delivering a more accessible layer of code on top of source code—and browser-based personalization tools. These personalization tools are often referred to as a widget or toolbar. Gartner notes that overlay technologies “can serve as a temporary measure or a first step toward making a website more accessible, particularly for small businesses or organizations with limited resources to undertake a complete accessibility overhaul.”
The Level Access solution uniquely delivers on all 12 capabilities, now including automated remediation and user personalization tools.
"In our opinion, Level Access’s repeated inclusion in the Gartner Market Guide underscores our platform's exceptional value and our organization’s ongoing drive to push the boundaries of innovation to meet our customers’ needs," added Ian Lowe, Chief Marketing Officer at Level Access. "It is our belief that acknowledgment in the Gartner Market Guide continues to recognize our expertise in the digital accessibility space and our unwavering commitment to helping organizations of every size create inclusive digital experiences."
