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™ Auditor is a customer data integration application that enables you to review and resolve data integrity issues that have been highlighted for review by Initiate Identity Hub™ software. Initiate™ Auditor was designed by health information management professionals, for whom ensuring data integrity is critical.
With Initiate™ Auditor, a user works within a flexible graphical user interface to compare flagged records side-by-side. Potential errors are automatically logged as tasks and sorted into customized work queues to facilitate the review process. Once a user has resolved a linkage candidate and corrected any related data (if appropriate), Initiate™ Auditor records the transaction and creates a "persistent link." Whenever Initiate Identity Hub™ software looks at this record again; it will recognize and apply the changes recorded in the persistent link. And since it keeps a log of all additions and updates, Initiate™ Auditor is an invaluable tool for meeting regulations that require documentation of data changes.
Initiate™ Auditor can also work with the outbound message service to send the updated record back to the source system that generated the task, thus automating the data integrity cycle.
