Accessibility to disabled people defines the level of access to an actual place or to information. Now, while most accessibility consultancies still work “manually”, this young firm of 30 employees took the gamble, right from the start, of industrialising data collection and processing. To do so, its 30-strong team, working out of 14 branches in France and Spain, is equipped with the Ikôn, a mobile terminal from Psion Teklogix, featuring a software programme developed by Ibizz, to optimise processing of tens of thousands of data. And the gamble quickly paid off since the company can boast double-figure growth over the past two years and has secured a real competitive edge by offering its customers a broader range of services and a veritable accessibility decision aid.
