McLean, Virginia - April 7, 2011 - SSB BART Group (SSB) and TecAccess are pleased to announce a strategic partnership that allows SSB to expand its service offering to include custom design and development services focused on accessible and compliant IT systems. This ensures SSB can provide support for clients throughout the entire lifecycle of an IT system - from initial design through to deployment.
As part of the partnership, key TecAccess employees have transitioned over to work directly on the SSB team. TecAccess will remain a separate entity focusing on 8(a) work with US Federal government customers. Current TecAccess customers can continue to work directly with TecAccess or transition their accessibility activities directly to SSB. Debra Ruh, an internationally recognized leader in the accessibility arena and a major advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities, will serve a dual role as the Chief Marketing Officer of SSB BART Group and CEO of TecAccess.
The partnership allows SSB to expand its team to ensure a continued level of exemplary service to the customers of both organizations. The combined staff provides the subject matter expertise to handle all of a customer´s accessibility needs. In-house staffing resources are supported by the Accessibility Management Platform (AMP), SSB´s infrastructure for managing all aspects of a successful accessibility program. This ensures that clients receive the high quality of work they are accustomed to in a consistent and scalable fashion.
Both firms will continue to provide consulting services and infrastructure to address the accessibility needs of organizations. These services will focus on projects including web site and application development, eLearning development, portal development, usability and accessibility testing, social and emerging media consultations, mobile device accessibility and other technical projects.
