University students benefiting from DES

Education establishments need to address diverse computer access needs of both students and staff.

Disability Equality Schemes now encourage a more proactive approach and making assistive software universally available delivers a truly equal environment for all levels of ability whether a need is declared or not.

Keytools range of site licence products are designed to support; low vision, dyslexia, ESOL, physical and cognitive disabilities, and healthy computer use. Keytools education specialist Emma Strong will be happy to discuss your requirements.


Compliance with Legislation
Site licences can ensure that you are making ‘reasonable adjustments’ under the DDA and support delivery of your Disability Equality Scheme for all users.  Assisting access to IT resources can be very effective in meeting social inclusion and corporate social responsibility objectives.

Equal Access
Single licences discriminate by limiting users with additional needs to specific locations or machines.  Users with undeclared needs (common with dyslexia) are unsupported.  Site licencing ensures that all users can benefit from the resource wherever they are working and on equal terms with their peers.

Productivity
Site Licences enable users to be more productive by helping them achieve their goals faster, and more effectively. 

Cost Effective
Site licences enable groups of users to enjoy the benefits of the software they need economically and efficiently.  Site licences are scalable and are the most cost efficient way you can provide support tools for ALL your users.

Centralised Management and Auditing
IT Managers can manage, support and maintain the software centrally, ensuring continuous availability, trouble-free updating, and user support.  A site licence ensures that every copy of the software on your site is legally licenced.
