Explaining the Different Types of Digital Assets
This blog is one part of a series of content we have produced on digital document remediation. In addition to this blog, we also have a video showing the lived experience and impact of inaccessible digital documents for a person with disabilities, a blog post detailing the Top 8 Sneaky Crucial Digital Document Remediation Mistakes to Avoid, a podcast detailing our team members’ lived experience of interacting with inaccessible digital documents, and a resource sheet of podcasts we’ve listened to on digital document information from the Chax Chat podcast.
It’s unmistakable that the world today has a greater reliance on the web, plus digital and online services. This increased usage and demand means equal access to digital information for all is more critical than ever before. At Tamman, we know that making a commitment to digital inclusivity can feel daunting, and embracing it is liberating.
Most organizations know their website is their primary digital asset; however, your digital portfolio is much wider.
