[Athen] AT as Business Advantage

[Gaeir Dietrich]

Interesting article from Gartner on the business case of access.

***

 

A recent report from Gartner is helping companies understand the need to
address accessibility. The report notes that assistive technology can
benefit everyone, including people with disabilities. It tells companies
that by addressing accessibility in IT product development they will be
opening up these products to people with disabilities. The article provides
estimates of the market and notes that this is an underserved market segment
with one billion people worldwide. They and their immediate friends and
family have an annual disposable income of more than $8 trillion.
