With over 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities, accessibility in technology is essential. Accessibility means making complex solutions available to everyone. Our team has worked hard to find the right balance, integrating inclusivity within the design principles that define ZILO™ without compromising the user experience. We’ve recently launched our Internal Accessibility Centre (IAC), a platform dedicated to sharing our accessibility journey within ZILO™. The IAC is a collection of insights, data, and lessons learned, showing our approach to addressing the complexities of accessibility. The IAC is more than just a resource, it’s a commitment to ongoing education and innovation. As we develop our products, we create and document strategies that enhance accessibility while maintaining the qualities that make our products stand out. Do you have insights or innovative ideas for enhancing accessibility? We’d love to hear from you. #DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #DiversityAndInclusion
