Xerox DocuShare® Software Satisfies Federal Requirements for Disabled Access
DocuShare® 2.2 is Section 508 Compliant Out of the Box
Xerox Corporation announced on March 19, 2002 that DocuShare® 2.2, a web-based repository for document and content management, meets the government's Section 508 guidelines for accessibility. It is the only Internet or Intranet Web product in its category that meets the federal Section 508 compliance standard without requiring customization.
Section 508 legislation, which went into effect last year, requires the government to purchase information technology equipment that is most accessible to disabled government workers and citizens who wish to use it. As a Section 508-compliant product, the DocuShare® user interface was designed with embedded code that enables special disabled-access software to work with DocuShare®. DocuShare®'s 508 compliance will be relevant to DocuShare® public sector customers such as the U.S. Postal Service, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Earth Observing Systems Program, National Institute of Health Clinical Center, and the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, all of whom must meet the 508 regulation..
