BUSINESS SECTORS - Can ADEPT UA help you?

Banking & Finance

In the financial / banking industry, sharing public-facing digital content that is not accessible presents legal risk. S4SSL and CDP's ADEPT UA software offers a comprehensive solution. Outdated tools hinder accessibility compliance, leaving financial documents, often containing complex tables, inaccessible.

However, ADEPT UA's powerful table handling features enable seamless conversion of high-volume documents into accessible formats, ensuring compliance with regulations. Financial service firms can now effortlessly create universally accessible content, safeguarding against litigation risks and ensuring customer retention.

Insurance

How does it work?

Unlike most product in the enterprise testing market ADEPT UA is user friendly and the user interface runs on a Windows PC platform.

You import the PDF data stream you want to work with. You then use a drag and drop interface to define the data on the page and in what order it's read out in a screen reader. This is done by creating a "template".

You can define headings, 1-6, bullets, para text and more, and define in what order they are read, which is really important for any document that's not a simple vertically formatted bunch of text. For example addresses, totals, marketing messages, and most notably text in multiple columns.
