Section 508 Accessibility

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act mandates that the U.S. Government purchase software and technology that are accessible to federal employees with disabilities. OutStart is committed to meeting and exceeding these guidelines in our products and solutions. We have incorporated accessibility best practices throughout our development and quality assurance organizations and have invested in quality testing tools to confirm that accessibility guidelines are met. Beyond the mandated compliance, OutStart recognizes that universal design and accessibility are good business practices.
