ProcureEnsure: Simple Accessible Procurement for Education

Date & Time

Thursday, March 21, 2024 - 10:20 AM PDT  

Location

Platinum 3 (ALLYANT)  

Description

When an educational institution considers new software, platforms, or other technological solutions, the question of whether they can be used by all students and staff, regardless of disability, is central to the decision-making process. Allyant, recognizing the vital need for accessibility in the procurement process, has developed a solution called ProcureEnsure. With ProcureEnsure, educational institutions can take advantage of a free assessment conducted by expert auditors. The assessment provides a comprehensive report that not only highlights the accessibility strengths of specific technology but also pinpoints areas that require improvement. Each report includes a detailed overview and assigns an accessibility grade, which acts as a benchmark for the technology's current state of accessibility. The session explores how ProcureEnsure can seamlessly integrate into existing procurement workflows. Participants will learn about the step-by-step process of the assessment, the criteria used by auditors to evaluate technology products, and how to interpret and utilize the report findings to make choices that align with institutional goals and values.
