Customer Perspectives

“Engage legal & procurement early, empower with tools and tech, and communicate widely — those three actions have been critical to embedding accessibility across Shell’s digital estate and turning EAA compliance into everyday practice,” said Samiksha More, Digital & Social Excellence Advisor, Shell.

In addition, Siteimprove customer and implementation partner such as Merkle’s Valentina Tarantini, Manager of DXP, said “Our EAA journey has confirmed that success stands on three pillars: first, empower people through targeted accessibility training and clear ownership; second, embed accessibility into every process step, from design requirements to continuous QA; and third, equip teams with the right tools like Siteimprove’s monitoring and remediation platform that lets us measure progress and course-correct in real time. When people, process, and tools move in lock-step, compliance becomes not just achievable, but sustainable.”
