There are currently two common models for accessibility programs. Centralized accessibility programs focus on a standard, enterprise-wide approach. These programs are scalable and consistent but fully integrating them into ongoing operations can take a long time. Distributed accessibility programs are more agile, with individual designers, developers and QA engineers making separate decisions and address accessibility issues on a case-by-case basis. This leads to rapid adoption but less consistent and scalable results. The most successful accessibility programs thoughtfully blend models such as Tenon’s simple, easily adopted standalone API testing service with Level Access’s proven, enterprise-wide solutions to ensure a fully integrated approach.

Maryland-based Tenon’s product suite bolsters Level Access’s ability to seamlessly provide that standardized approach at scale. Led by industry thought leader CEO Karl Groves, who founded the company in 2014, Tenon has a renowned reputation for its dedication to help businesses solve any accessibility problem. Groves will serve as Level Access’s Chief of Innovation.

“We’re thrilled to join Tenon’s agile testing solutions with Level Access’s industry-leading distributed program and go-to-market abilities. This combination will allow virtually any organization to get started and then provide them with a way to mature into a standard, enterprise-wide approach,” said Groves.

Headquartered in Vienna, VA, Level Access provides industry-leading, award-winning digital accessibility solutions to over 2,000 corporations, small businesses, healthcare organizations, government institutions, and educational institutions. Level Access leverages nearly 25 years of accessibility, inclusivity and compliance solutions that improve the lives of people with disabilities across the nation and strengthen the company’s position in the digital accessibility solutions market.
