HiSoftware and NetCentric Technologies Announce Partnership
Nashua, NH (PRWEB) March 20, 2014 -- HiSoftware, a leading provider of Web accessibility compliance and SharePoint security solutions, and NetCentric Technologies, makers of the popular CommonLook suite of software and services for accessible electronic documents, today announced the companies have signed a strategic technology alliance. The partnership will allow the companies to sell their complementary products to their respective customers to provide complete solutions for making Web, Office and PDF content accessible.
“Our customers have accessibility requirements that include web accessibility and document accessibility. NetCentric is pleased to be working with Hi Software to offer our customers complete accessibility solutions that meet their requirements today,” said Monir ElRayes, NetCentric’s Founder / Director.
The CommonLook® software family follows an in-depth, methodical process that empowers authors and testers alike to ensure PDF documents comply with accessibility standards. Introduced in 2009, NetCentric's PDF Accessibility tools were quickly established as the leading desktop software for creation of accessible PDF files from Microsoft Word and Power Point documents and for verifying the accessibility of PDF documents on desktops and servers. HiSoftware Compliance Sheriff® gives organizations an easy, cost-effective way to integrate a comprehensive and automated solution for Web accessibility testing and monitoring. It enables organizations to easily validate their websites, intranets, and portals, including attached documents, for compliance against US and International standards for Web accessibility (WCAG and Section 508). When used together, users can identify Office and PDF documents that have accessibility issues using Compliance Sheriff, and the CommonLook products can be used to remediate the issues and make the content compliant with the appropriate accessibility standards.
“Identifying issues is an important first step to accessibility; making the necessary fixes to the content is the key to achieving compliance,” said Kurt Mueffelmann, President and CEO of HiSoftware. “This partnership makes a lot of sense for our customers who are looking for a way to easily identify and fix problematic Office and PDF documents. When used together, Compliance Sheriff and CommonLook can ensure that all digital content within the organization is compliant.”
