Accessibility and Assistive Technology - An Inclusive End User Experience (IUX)

Accessibility enables greater inclusivity providing benefits for organisations, their employees and customers

Inclusion, Aligned to our Raison D’etre, is an Atos core value and we want to work with you to enable everyone to achieve their full potential through technology.

We are pleased to help our clients create Inclusive User Experiences (IUX) and offer a range of Accessible and Assistive Technology Services to help:

Attract and retain talent

Support Aging & Disabled Workers / Customers

Improve Employee Wellbeing

Reduce Unnecessary Absence

Ensure Compliance

Enhance Efficiency

The Gartner report “Top strategic predictions for 2020 and beyond” states that it should be a CIO imperative to “Make accessibility a core principle”, “Look for scalable accommodation opportunities” and “Promote accessibility options broadly”

 

Why Atos

Being inclusive goes beyond simply providing Assistive Technology. It requires a holistic and systematic approach to delivering products and services to end users that proactively and effectively enable them to maximise their contribution regardless of disability or impairment. This requires application of best practices from experts through appropriate technology adoption, training and knowledge transfer.

It also requires an empathetic approach that considers any person to be capable of contributing fully to their organisation and entitled to the removal of barriers, to their full inclusion in the life of the organisation.

From experience already gained with multiple customers over many years, Atos are uniquely positioned to deliver enterprise wide inclusivity solutions and services that enable our customers and partners to meet their legal and ethical commitments. Beyond that, it allows all of their employees and end users the opportunity of working experience within which they can contribute fully.

ICT4 Inclusion Innovation Challenge,
jointly organised by Atos & GIZ

About the challenge

Digital technologies have great potential to support the inclusion of persons with disabilities. At the same time, accessible solutions improve the user-friendliness for everyone including elderly persons, those with dyslexia and analphabets. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerates digital transformation in all sectors and therefore significantly increases the need for solutions enabling access to education, employment, and government services.

Atos and GIZ set up a joint innovation challenge targeted at digital innovations (tech products and services) aimed at the social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities and local job creation – in the 2022 edition – with focus on mitigating the impact of climate change on people with disabilities – in India.

To get informed about the opening of the challenge please register your interest in the ITC4 Inclusion Innovation challenge via email to Atos ICT4IC team before start of the challenge or on the dedicated ICT4IC event webpage.
