Accessible by Design
Anthology's commitment to accessibility is deeply ingrained in their product design process. Their products are built with accessibility in mind, from individual features to overarching AI governance standards and quality initiatives. The global accessibility team at Anthology collaborates closely with product teams during design and development to prioritize accessibility. They also engage with third-party organizations for additional training and guidance to uphold their strict accessibility standards. Moreover, each product comes with an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), providing transparent documentation for customers aiming to achieve their own accessibility objectives.

They actively partner with institutions, nonprofits, accessibility advocates, and individuals with disabilities to shape their approach to accessibility. Through focus groups, interviews, and ongoing consultations, Anthology ensures that their products address real needs and evolve in sync with user requirements. This inclusive model of community involvement allows for continuous enhancement of product design and development.

Teams across the organization work collectively to integrate accessibility at every stage of the product development cycle and embed it in the company's cultural fabric. Anthology has fostered an internal network of accessibility champions who actively promote and sustain a culture where accessibility is a core value.
