EZ Access ® Certification For Self-Service Kiosks
EZ Access ® Certification Provides Assurance of ADA & Section 508 Compliance
Certified implementations can display the EZ Access ® trademark to advertise a strong commitment to accessibility.
With over ten years of research, techniques and keyboard design modifications, EZ Access ® has evolved into a best-in-class solution for those seeking ADA and section 508 compliance.
EZ Access ® is the only cross disability solution set for self-service kiosks.
Federal and state ADA codes and regulations are intended to provide cross disability access to public computers (self-service kiosk installations). By working with Assistra Technologies LLC to implement EZ Access ®, clients will more easily satisfy government guidelines, evidence their concern for inclusivity and diminish the threat of related litigation. In short, EZ Access ® technologies, along with a proper implementation and certification provided by Assistra, will provide both the guidance to create accessible kiosks, and a "safer harbor" for clients trying to be sure that they comply with the requirements for accessibility in public spaces.
Certified implementations can display the EZ Access ® trademark to advertise a strong commitment to accessibility.
Whereas, in today's increasingly litigious society, no one can insure that you won't be sued, an EZ Access ® best-in-class implementation promotes your strong commitment to accessibility - for everyone!
