Additional Highlights

Accessibility

DSMS meets current accessibility requirements for student and staff users, period. The team that developed DSMS designed the software with accessibility and usability as a core principle, not just an afterthought. DSMS has been tested and used by blind students and staff on a daily basis.

DSMS complies with WCAG AAA and Section 508. DSMS is accessible for today's web and utilizes an up-to-date interface that not only makes it accessible, but user friendly.

We're happy to provide a demo of our software. We encourage your users with accessibility needs to test our system for themselves and verify that is indeed truly accessible. You wouldn't want another department on-campus to purchase inaccessible software, now with DSMS you don't have to either.
