E-mail billing solution to cater for the visually impaired
Through an initiative to incorporate screen reading capabilities directly into all its electronic document solutions, EMC, in association with the National Council for the Blind, has become the first company in South Africa to offer an e-billing system that is user friendly for the visually impaired.The functionality of the system has been seamlessly built into the company's electronic document and billing formats, so that customers need no longer differentiate between users who may be visually impaired and those who aren't. Essentially, the visual document remains the same by making use of functionality that is 'hidden' within the document's logic. Bill recipients who have a lesser degree of impairment, or even those without any disability, can also make use of the technology to have their electronic documents read to them clearly and accurately.
Current Projects
Social responsibility is close to our heart. EMC is extremely proud to have contributed towards and to be associated with organizations that ensure that destitute HIV-Positive mothers, their children and orphans of HIV/AIDS parents have a safe, caring and dignified place to call home, a place that is equipped with acceptable living standards.
Email Connection is passionate about empowering communities to be self sustainable and is a supporter of Food Security projects that provides food production, training and research and has the potential to be a model that could share skills and experience with other urban and or peri-urban sites, as well as with people from the wider community. It has provided employment and training for a range of people in the community.
