Strategic It Accessibility: Enabling the Organization

A strategic guide to understanding, enabling, and implementing IT accessibility across organizations of any size, type, or geographic location. IT accessibility, or lack thereof, can have a profoundly positive or negative effect on an organization in the private or public sector. Only when IT accessibility is considered organization-wide can one gain perspective on the magnitude of its potential advantages and impacts. Considering IT accessibility in all its dimensions requires a comprehensive, holistic approach— one that integrates IT accessibility into the fabric of an organization’s business, operations, and culture. This book, the first of its kind, deals with the business end of IT accessibility—how to enable the organization rather than perform technical enablement at a coding level. Unlike the typical piecemeal approach used by most organizations today, this book provides those in both the private and public sector with an understanding of all the moving parts needed to enable and maintain IT accessibility over the long term.
