CollegeSource VPAT Strategy Case Study

This case study outlines how CollegeSource, a software solutions provider for degree completion and transfer processes, improved its procurement process through a sustainable Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) strategy. Initially, the company faced challenges in meeting the increasing demand for VPAT reports from prospective customers, which disrupted their operations. To address this issue, CollegeSource partnered with Level Access to develop a more proactive and efficient VPAT reporting process. The collaboration provided CollegeSource with credible VPAT reports and expert support, allowing them to embed accessibility into their product development life cycle. This strategic shift not only streamlined the procurement process but also enhanced customer trust and positioned CollegeSource as a leader in accessibility within the higher education technology sector. The case study emphasizes the importance of integrating accessibility from the outset and highlights the positive impact on company culture and customer relations.
