Voluntary Product Accessibility Template
Version 1.2*
May 6, 2004
The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT, is to assist Federal contracting officials and other buyers in making preliminary assessments regarding the availability of commercial “Electronic and Information Technology” products and services with features that support accessibility. It is assumed and recommended that offerers will provide additional contact information to facilitate more detailed inquiries.
The first table of the Template provides a summary view of the section 508 Standards. The subsequent tables provide more detailed views of each subsection. There are three columns in each table. Column one of the Summary Table describes the subsections of subparts B and C of the Standards. The second column describes the supporting features of the product or refers you to the corresponding detailed table, "e.g., equivalent facilitation." The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product. In the subsequent tables, the first column contains the lettered paragraphs of the subsections. The second column describes the supporting features of the product with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.

Initiate Systems, a leader in Customer Data Integration (CDI), enables customer-focused business strategies by providing trusted customer data to your people and systems on-demand.
Initiate's customers get the complete, accurate, up-to-the moment data they need to drive better Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Intelligence (BI), reduce risk, improve regulatory compliance, and support other key business initiatives.
Initiate's innovative technology breaks down the barriers between applications and data stores to create a trusted system of record enterprise-wide. Initiate Identity Hub™ software overcomes duplicate and fragmented records, multiple identifications, transpositions, misspellings, nicknames, aliases, address inconsistencies and identity misrepresentations to instantly find and accurately link all the records about a person, household, organization or other object across disparate systems and data sources.
Initiate Identity Hub™ software and its related applications and services:
- improve the integrity of the data in each source
- accurately integrate data across disparate sources
- make complete, accurate, up-to-the moment data available to customer-facing, back-office and business intelligence systems across your enterprise — and even to your business partners
Initiate enables organizations in a variety of industries including communications, financial services, healthcare, hospitality, gaming, retail and the public sector, to achieve better results more quickly, less invasively and with less risk, regardless of their data volume. Our approach does not require you to send data outside your firewall, move large quantities of data, manage customer identifiers or standardize database schemas.
