explanation of steps such as soliciting information from a vendor, what questions to ask, things to look for in a VPAT, etc. Our process is also attempting to assess compliance risk from an impact standpoint. For example, is the product in question intended
to be used by all agency staff? The public? Or, will it be used by a smaller, defined department with very specific business needs, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
