Digital Accessibility ROI

Overview: 

There are a number of direct and indirect benefits to improving the accessibility of your digital assets, not only for people with disabilities but for businesses as well. But how do you make the case to decision-makers for funding such an effort? In this webinar, the presenter will share his experience working with an industry-leading consulting firm to create a Return on Investment (ROI) model that predicts the net benefit for improving access to your business's digital experiences. The framework of the model factors in benefits such as increased sales, improved brand image and decreased risk of litigation and includes the ROI of such activities as training, auditing, user testing and support.
 

Objectives:

• Participants will understand what are the direct and indirect benefits of accessibility to a business
• Participants will learn how to calculate a net benefit of accessibility by industry and activity
• Participants will learn what accessibility activities have the biggest impact on the bottom line
