Web Accessibility: Preparing for Compliance in 2025 Brings an Intersection of DEI and Customer Experience


This IDC Perspective looks at the level of digital accessibility needed today to address regional regulations for people with disabilities or other impairments affecting equal access, navigation, and interaction with websites. The document offers guidelines to serve as a template for organizations to consider steps in auditing and remediating accessibility issues and establish a culture of digital inclusivity that makes online documents and websites accessible to everyone whether for impairments such as motor function, vision, hearing, or cognition."The majority of organizations are aware of digital accessibility guidelines and standards; however, with only 6% of web pages being fully digital accessible, there is more work to be done to meet local laws and global guidelines," says Marci Maddox, research vice president for Persuasive Content and Digital Experience Strategies at IDC. "Less than half of the public websites accommodate visual and auditory disabilities — and even fewer for cognitive disabilities — which leaves a wide gap of communication, commerce, and business interactions inaccessible to online users. Software vendors need to step up and make it easier for organizations to handle digital accessibility natively in their tools and make it easier to maintain compliance long term."

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.
