Cloud Computing Pioneer is the Only Platform to Offer Automatic Section
508-Compliant Applications without Coding
Mountain View, Calif., March 31, 2010 – Caspio, Inc. (www.caspio.com), the leading cloud database platform, today announced the availability of Section 508-compliant web applications to enable government and corporate websites to meet the latest web accessibility standards. Every application built with Caspio since March 2010 is automatically Section 508-compliant and accessible to people with disabilities. The company is the only cloud platform to offer Section 508-compliant application deployment without coding.
Caspio’s technology for rapid application development has been deployed by a
growing number of federal, state and local government agencies to address
Open Government, Gov 2.0 and eGovernment initiatives. These organizations
include the United States Postal Service, California Department of Health,
Indiana.gov, Georgia.gov, and the City of Chicago.
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act obligates Federal agencies to make all
of their electronic and information technology accessible to people with
disabilities, in a manner that is comparable to access available to others.

Prior to Caspio’s Section 508-compliant application technology, the
programming of database-driven applications typically required a thorough
understanding of the Rehabilitation Act as well as additional expenses for
development and testing. Now, Caspio’s point-and-click platform eliminates
the need to code applications from scratch and allows clients to invest
their time and resources into more mission-critical activities.
Today, Caspio powers over 300,000 applications for government agencies,
universities, small-to-medium sized businesses, Fortune-500 companies, and
over 80% of the largest American newspaper websites.

eGovernment initiatives cost-effectively using Caspio, contact Caspio
