• There are some products that are not accessible and, wherever possible, it is suggested to replace them with accessible versions. GIS (Geographic Information System) is currently not an accessible product and the National Access Board has acknowledged the fact that it has become a universal tool and it’s not accessible, but accepts it need and use. ESRI, a developer of GIS software, is currently working on the development of an accessible version.
