Swink and Deque establish partnership for the Benelux

What is Deque?

Deque (pronounced “deecue”) is a leading global provider of software and services in the field of digital accessibility. The software from this American company is used by large multinationals and other organizations seeking the best solutions for digital accessibility.

Deque's tools make it easy to thoroughly analyze and monitor websites and apps for accessibility. Thanks to Deque's software and expertise, your organization can embed and scale digital accessibility in a long-term way.

What the partnership with Deque means for you

Through this partnership, we are joining forces with the supplier of the best tools for digital accessibility. The quality of our services was already extraordinarily good, but with Deque we can offer even more. Thus, the reports of our audits will look different, making it even easier for you to solve any problems found:

• more (visual) clarification of the issues found in the report,
• an interactive dashboard,
• export functionality to import findings to your ticket system.

In addition to optimizing our existing services, we will also be offering new services in collaboration with Deque. For example, you will soon be able to continuously monitor the accessibility of your site. This allows you to immediately see what problems there are and how serious they are. This makes it easy for you to comply with the reporting requirements of the regulators for EAA legislation. More information about these new services will follow shortly.

Digital accessibility starts with sufficient internal knowledge. The online Deque University allows us to provide you with even better support in this area. You can deepen your knowledge whenever and wherever you want and find answers to your questions. Of course, our existing training programs will continue to be available.

In short, we will continue to offer the services you know from us of extraordinarily high quality, as you would expect from us. What will change is that, with the power of Deque's tools, we will be able to serve you more effectively and efficiently with all your questions about digital accessibility.

Why Swink and Deque are an extraordinarily good match

We both believe accessibility is important and want the best. It is no coincidence that we both value expertise highly. Both organizations are focused on realizing a digitally accessible society and supporting organizations in this endeavor.

With this partnership, we are building on Deque's tools and expertise. Combine that with the knowledge and experience of our specialists that are extraordinarily well-qualified, and you get the best digital accessibility services for governments and businesses.

We are eager to show our customers and those of Deque in the Benelux how they can benefit from the combination of Swink and Deque!

We will soon be featuring a webinar to provide you with comprehensive information about the new reports. Please subscribe to our digital accessibility newsletter (in Dutch) to receive an invitation shortly.
