With the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in June 2025, digital accessibility becomes a legal obligation for all European companies. It is no longer just an ethical issue, but a legal requirement. In this context, it is crucial to choose a solution that ensures adequate compliance, effective technical management and a truly inclusive user experience.
In questo confronto analizziamo le principali soluzioni oggi sul mercato AccessiWay, accessiBe, UserWay, AccessiBit spiegando perché Accessibi stands out as the most solid, modern and strategic choice for Italian and European companies.
AccessiWay: an intermediary relying on external technologies
AccessiWay opera come realtà italiana nel settore dell’accessibilità digitale, offrendo una soluzione basata sull’integrazione del widget sviluppato da accessiBe, società statunitense. Questo modello, che si appoggia a una tecnologia esterna, presenta alcuni aspetti da considerare per le aziende europee che cercano una piattaforma allineata alle normative locali.
In particolare:
- L’adattamento alle normative europee può risultare meno immediato rispetto a soluzioni progettate internamente con riferimento specifico all’EAA e alla Legge Stanca.
- La dipendenza da un fornitore extra-UE implica un minore controllo diretto sull’evoluzione tecnologica e sugli aggiornamenti.
- L’adozione di una tecnologia non sviluppata in-house può comportare meno flessibilità e personalizzazione per chi ha esigenze normative specifiche o contesti complessi.
accessiBe and UserWay: standardised tools for the US market
Both accessiBe and UserWay offer ready-made solutions, designed primarily for the US market and intended to meet the requirements of the American regulations (ADA). However, their application in the European context is limited.
The main critical issues:
- Lack of specific adaptation to EU regulations.
- Reporting and documentation inconsistent with European standards.
- Language localisation and technical support often inadequate for Italian or European users.
These solutions may be quick to install, but they do not offer the depth and precision required for the regulatory and cultural demands of our market.
AccessiBit: uno strumento utile per l’analisi
AccessiBit propone una suite di strumenti per l’analisi dell’accessibilità dei siti web, offrendo report e indicazioni tecniche. La piattaforma è utile per aziende che dispongono di competenze interne e preferiscono gestire direttamente le attività di adeguamento. Per realtà che cercano un servizio più completo e tecnico, possono risultare più adatte soluzioni che combinano analisi, sviluppo e supporto operativo in un’unica offerta.
Accessibi: la soluzione europea che unisce tecnologia e conformità normativa
