Retriever recognizes the importance of the requirements of Section 508 (US Federal Government) and also the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (industry standards) regarding accessible technology products to all end users including those with disabilities. Retriever continues to provide field staff automation solutions that consider accessibility requirements for all of its customers, including those in the government and public sector. Complying with Section 508 requirements can be complicated by many factors.
As with most sophisticated software and the necessary hardware, Retriever products are impacted by multiple third party technological variables, including hardware, operating systems and assistive technologies. Additionally, Section 508 or industry guidelines do not mandate a common means of assessing compliance with the accessibility standards. It is only by listening to the feedback from our customers, user group meetings and our beta testing process, that we can continue to monitor the success of our accessibility program.
