In
an article entitled “Empowering the disabled with Web Accessibility”
written by Mari-Len De Guzman of IT World Canada (19 Jul 2005),
Valerie Brown, Vice President, Knowledge Management, WSI was
extensively quoted on Web accessibility and what it means to
business.
The IT World article states: “The UK, Australia and France are
pioneering Web accessibility initiatives through domestic
legislation. In these countries, Web site owners are mandated to
provide a level of Web accessibility, according to Valerie Brown,
Vice-President, Knowledge Management at WSI, a Toronto-based
Internet consulting firm.”
The article goes on to quote: “WSI is offering Web accessibility as
an option to clients building a Web site.”
"When serving our clients, we come to them with the latest
information like accessibility, making sure that if there is
legislation that they need to abide by, that we can build that for
them. Or, if there is no [accessibility] legislation, at least help
them understand that it is coming and that at certain point we may
have to build or upgrade their Web site to be accessible", Brown
said.
The IT World article will appear in Computer World Canada, Network
World Canada and Network World US (with changes for the US market).
WSI Corporate will be sending an informational press release to all
of our markets the week of August 15, 2005. Stay tuned for more
coverage on this important topic.
