Creating Accessible Documents and Communications—From the Start
Seamless, Scalable Compliance Built into Your CCM Workflow
Delivering accessible customer communications isn’t just about meeting legal requirements—it’s about providing inclusive experiences for every customer, every time. Our document automation solution simplifies accessibility by embedding it directly into your workflows—so every document is compliant and accessible as it’s created.
The Challenge with Document Accessibility
Inconsistent compliance across high-volume customer communications
Difficulty scaling accessibility across templates, formats, and channels
Risk of non-compliance with WCAG, PDF/UA, and EAA standards
Retroactive accessibility fixes that are costly and time-consuming
Why Pre-Composition Accessibility Is a Smart Strategy
Our CCM software solves these challenges by baking accessibility into every document template—before content is generated. This means every customer communication is automatically accessible, without requiring manual fixes or external tools.
Pre-composition accessibility—by building compliance directly into templates and layouts—is well suited to the generation of high volumes of similar documents, like invoices or statements.
Key Benefits of Creating Accessible Documents in Pre-Composition
- Automated Compliance – Meet PDF/UA, WCAG 2.1 AA, and other requirements proactively. Accessibility is embedded into every document automatically—no manual rework required.
- Scalable & Consistent – Apply consistent accessibility standards across high-volume, personalized communications.
- Reduced Risk & Operational Cost – Avoid legal and reputational risk by streamlining workflows and eliminating redundant reprocessing or retrofitting.
- Improved Customer Experience – Deliver fully accessible documents from the start—improving engagement and trust with every user.
