Under the terms of the agreement,
HiSoftware Company will provide an
enterprise license of its AccMonitor
Compliance Server 2005 software to the
Commonwealth of Kentucky Governor’s
Office for Technology for use by its

and Section 508 compliance experts.

an automated content quality and
accessibility testing solution for Web
sites, or for use in conjunction with
intranet servers or file servers.

HiSoftware’s user-driven interactive
desktop solutions, AccVerify DS2 2005
and AccRepair DS2 2005 to test and
remediate their projects for
compliance with Section 508 and other
content quality standards. These
solutions also include the Link
Validation Utility, which assists with
quality and accessibility assurance by
scanning and analyzing web content for
broken links, producing detailed
reports to help developers and quality
assurance professionals pinpoint and
fix content, interaction, and
usability defects.
