With the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in June 2025, digital accessibility becomes a regulatory requirement 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 that relies 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: standardized tools for the U.S. market.
Both accessiBe and UserWay offer prepackaged solutions designed primarily for the U.S. market and designed to meet U.S. regulatory (ADA) requirements. However, their application in the European context is limited.
The main critical issues:
- Lack of specific adaptation to EU regulations.
- Reports and documentation inconsistent with European standards.
- Language localization and technical support often inadequate for an Italian or European user base.
These are solutions that may be quick to install but do not offer the depth and accuracy needed for the regulatory and cultural requirements 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.
