Description

Digital Accessibility in Europe in a Nutshell


This IDC Perspective discusses the importance of digital accessibility in European organizations, emphasizing its relevance in the future of work. It highlights the need for inclusive design in technology, services, and workplaces to accommodate individuals with various disabilities. The content explores the role of technology, particularly AI, in enhancing digital accessibility. It further discusses the impact of regulations such as European Union directives in shaping digital accessibility and presents examples of companies implementing related initiatives. The report concludes with advice for technology buyers on integrating digital accessibility."Digital accessibility is one of the most important — if not the most important — diversity, equity, and inclusion topics for our society. For this reason, regulatory bodies are issuing new regulations to ensure digital accessibility provides people who have any functional difficulties with the same rights as everyone else in accessing the job market and in living a decent and socially acceptable life. It is paramount that technologies enable everyone's inclusion and that no one is left behind." — Senior Research Analyst Erica Spinoni, European Future of Work and Digital Business Strategies, IDC Europe

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
