Assessment Methodology

An SSB BART Group Business Assessment analyzes the risks your organization faces based on your markets, types and uses of IT systems, and competitive pressures. Using proprietary techniques developed through years of experience, SSB BART Group will provide a thorough and complete analysis of your accessibility status, emphasizing ways that accessibility can increase revenues, avoid punitive damages, and enhance brand image. The Business Assessment also identifies which functional groups within your organization are affected by accessibility and how they can be best integrated into an accessibility initiative.
To determine your organization's overall accessibility status, a Business Assessment incorporates four separate analyses:
- IT System Analysis - SSB BART Group analyzes the types and uses of your organization's IT systems to determine their accessibility risk. For example, a public Web site with product support information poses a greater risk than a software program used internally by a few employees.
- Market Analysis - Accessibility requirements and opportunities vary depending on the international markets that your organization operates in and your competition. SSB BART Group examines your markets and competition to identify risks to existing revenue streams and opportunities where accessibility can become a competitive advantage.
- Internal Process Analysis - Accessibility is best addressed when it is incorporated into existing practices. SSB BART Group will analyze existing development processes to identify non-invasive changes that can allow your organization to effectively develop accessible IT systems moving forward.
- Functional Group Analysis - SSB BART Group will examine the various functional groups within your organization that are relevant to accessibility--including management, legal, marketing, sales, and engineering--to identify ways they can contribute to an accessibility initiative. This enables open collaboration that will facilitate reaching the appropriate level of accessibility.
