Under
the terms of the agreement, HiSoftware
Company will provide an enterprise
license of its AccMonitor Server
software to the State of Maine for use
by its webmasters, application

weekly, or monthly. It also allows
users to log-on for “on demand”
reports on the accessibility status of
their Web pages.

of Maine Web application developers
will also be able to utilize
HiSoftware’s user-driven interactive
desktop solutions, AccVerify and
AccRepair to test and remediate their
projects for compliance with Section
508 and other content quality
standards. These solutions also
include the AccVerify 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.
