Customers have asked us "will the new EvoGov CMS include enough ADA features that we won't need Userway/Accessibe any longer?". Short answer - Yes. Including automatic tagging of all images, PDF mitigation, content mitigation, scans, on-page tools, the works.
Our own ADA/WGAC 2.1 to replace Userway, AudioEye, SiteImprove, Accessibe, Monsido, DocAccess, and more is now completed, integrated, and part of our platform. Includes PDF remediation, right in the CMS.

OVERLAYS
