Government and 508 Compliance

Many government agencies, non-profits and trade associations are looking to modernize their approach to delivering news and information. Budget and technical concerns have often prevented these organizations from providing a full range of secure, Web video services, and as a result they lose attention to insecure, third-party video sharing sites. Many of these organizations are also mandated by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to ensure that public information is universally accessible to everyone.  

To improve the effectiveness of their communications and ensure accessibility, government agencies such as the Pentagon and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and non-profits like the American Farm Bureau, have turned to The FeedRoom to implement new methods for integrating online video into their Web sites, including 508-compliant FeedRoom Access™ players that ensure universal accessibility to users with disabilities and other special needs.

With FeedRoom 4.0 Enterprise Video Platform, these organizations employ Web video in live and on-demand formats to transmit newsworthy and mission-critical messages quickly and powerfully to the media and the public through press conferences, training and field support, alerts and crisis coverage, and 24/7 programming via Web TV channels.
