Mike Paciello, renown accessibility expert and co-founder and Chairman of OAT, comments, “In the world of accessibility, emerging technologies are still challenged by a single point of truth – is the content, the data and information, usable and accessible to all persons? The dyslexic, visually impaired and blind and any other person who is not able to easily render published electronic content, need to experience the successful interaction with that content, as individuals without disabilities. This partnership delivers on OAT’s mission to achieve total user inclusiveness, empowerment, accessibility and optimized user experience of electronic published information.”
“This is an exciting time of growth for OAT with an exclusive opportunity to go to market with codeMantra’s proven RPA platform for the accessible marketplace,” said Howard Berke, President and CEO of OAT. “In the information age where knowledge is pervasive, the accessibility and usability of that knowledge must be equally pervasive. We look forward to leveraging codeMantra’s global resources to further extend our provision of accessibility to corporate enterprises, government agencies and academic institutions worldwide.”
