VPAT Services
Validate your digital product or software accessibility and compliance with a completed Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)—or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).
Documented Accessibility.
A VPAT, or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template—outlines an accurate state of accessibility for a digital product or software and can be used as a roadmap to make improvements. When it’s completed, the VPAT is called an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). And because accessibility is increasingly a legal mandate, organizations that buy and integrate third-party products are now making VPATs / ACRs a fundamental requirement of their RFP and procurement processes.
If you have proof your digital product meets accessibility and compliance standards, your organization has a competitive advantage. But the VPAT is just the beginning.
Allyant’s VPAT / ACR services will not only help you secure new business with new buyers, but it will also set in motion your ongoing commitment to accessibility.
Request a VPATTwo-Step Auditing Process.
The VPAT is a template, and there are different versions of the template based on your specific use case. We start our VPAT Services process by ensuring you’re using the correct VPAT edition and version based on applicable laws and standards. We create a customized testing plan that will achieve your organizational needs. And then we audit your digital product or software according to applicable standards—whether the Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) or Europe’s EN 301 549.
Our VPAT audit is a two-step process. An expert accessibility engineer manually evaluates your product or software, flagging any accessibility issues.
We then add a second layer of review conducted by native assistive technology (AT) users—ensuring we’ve captured any issue that may be compromising usability.
We then deliver to you a fully accessible ACR—or completed VPAT—to publicly share or show your buyers.
Or, if you have accessibility issues to correct, we’ll work with you to correct them, and we provide you an updated VPAT / ACR in real time to reflect the most updated state of compliance. No additional up charges.
VPAT Validation.
We not only create VPATs, we evaluate them from third-party vendors you’re considering. If you’re also on the procuring side and want to be sure the product you’re purchasing is accessible, we’re happy to evaluate that product before you buy—with our ProcureEnsure service.
