Expanded partnership includes new growth
targets and a comprehensive go-to-market strategy
TUCSON,
Ariz., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye,
Inc. (NASDAQ: AEYE) ("AudioEye" or the "Company"), the
industry-leading digital accessibility company, and Finalsite, the
leading K-12 school community relationship management platform,
today announced an expanded partnership, significantly enhancing
digital accessibility for K-12 schools. The partnership, with new
growth targets and a comprehensive go-to-market strategy, utilizes
AudioEye's platform for advanced accessibility testing and
remediation.
This expansion follows the Justice Department's new rule
under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which
establishes specific requirements for web and mobile app
accessibility among state and local government entities, including
public schools. These entities must reach compliance within the
next two years for those with populations of more than 50,000 and
three years for those with 50,000 or fewer.
"Finalsite is the clear leader in education technology
solutions, serving 7,000 clients in 115 countries worldwide, and
their commitment to digital accessibility is unmatched," said
David Moradi, CEO of AudioEye. "Our
partnership uniquely positions us to address the growing digital
accessibility requirements with Finalsite's significant presence in
K-12 schools and to better serve school districts and their unique
digital accessibility needs. Our expanded offerings allow for a
holistic approach to digital accessibility and learning that gives
every student the opportunity to succeed."
Despite the ongoing need for accessible digital learning, many
schools still struggle to meet the required standards. A nationwide
study of K-12 websites in the US found that over 95 percent of
school home pages had at least one detectable accessibility error,
and nearly two-thirds failed at least one of the measurable Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), meaning some students and
their families may not be able to access critical information or
learning online.
"Finalsite considers accessibility a fundamental equality issue,
not just a legal requirement. By ensuring that everyone has equal
access to the valuable information provided on school websites and
mobile apps, we help schools foster inclusivity, enabling them to
engage with their entire community effectively," said Jon Moser, Finalsite's Founder and CEO. "The
expanded partnership with AudioEye offers our schools even more
ways to check for and remediate inaccessible content, providing
peace of mind for administrators and a better experience for the
communities they serve."
Finalsite and AudioEye are dedicated to enhancing digital
accessibility in K-12 education, continually innovating to deliver
website and mobile app solutions that ensure every school can offer
an inclusive, compliant, and user-friendly digital experience.
