More and more organizations are being sued for non-compliance with accessibility and 508 compliance. Do we know if the knowledge base in Freshdesk is compliant?

I also urgently need an answer to this topic. I am working as a consultant to an Australian company who absolutely require that their solution be WCAG 2.1 compliant. I cannot propose Freshdesk as a solution without this.

To be clear, like Mr/Ms Goodall above, we only require that the knowledge base, as seen by the customer, is compliant. The back end does not need to be compliant.

Answer required urgently as I need to make a decision this week.

Frustrating to see no one from freshdesk respond to any of the Accessibility threads. This is very important to people working for government contracts.

I am bidding for a UK Government contract.

Could you guide me to answers for:

What accessibility standards does your online ticketing support management meet?

User support/webchat support - What accessibility standards does your web chat meet?

If you answered 'None or don't know': Describe how your web chat is accessible.

Describe any web chat testing that you’ve done with assistive technology users.



Hi Tony & Others


Apologies for missing out on this


@Tony- Were you able to bid and get this ? Would you like us to engage personally on this ? Would that be fine


I will get our PMM Team to address this ASAP


Please give me sometime


Thanks
Vijay

Unfortunately, we have decided to migrate from Freshdesk and Cornell University has decided to implement TeamDynamix, partially because of its compliance with accessibility.


Best,

Hi all,


We are currently not 508 compliant completely. It is on the roadmap, however, you can make a few tweaks using portal customization to make it compliant. Please drop an email to support@freshdesk.com to discuss your specific requirements further. Apologies for the delayed response.


Thanks,
