E-Ramp helps techies to integrate e-ramps into technology environments
IT professionals are busy people. As an extremely important strategic resource, these overworked and understaffed people provide the keys to accelerating most organizations towards their goals. Often the leverage that they provide results in benefits that are orders of magnitude beyond anything else offered. There are a number of factors however which when combined result in a less than desirable situation for many organizations:

For the most part, within private and public sector organizations, information & communication technologies are no longer simply business tools. They have become, along with social and physical components, an integral part of the very environment we work in. For a person with a disability, this can be a dual-edged sword. On the one hand, technology has enabled many people to enter the workforce, leveraging their abilities. On the other hand, just as stairs in the physical environment can be a barrier to a wheelchair user preventing free movement, technology can - and in too many cases does - bar many people with disabilities from employment and career advancement opportunities.
E-Ramp promotes and facilitates diversity in the workplace by helping IT professionals to make their technology environments more flexible and accessible - without compromising functionality or technical elegance.
The integration of ramps into our physical environment have resulted in access to places previously unheard of for people using wheelchairs - not to mention simple access to the retail store on the next block. What is required, and is happening - although much too slowly - is the integration of "eramps" into our technology environments to reduce and eliminate barriers to employment and career opportunities. So far, much accessibility has been accomplished by self-empowerment, legislation, policy changes, issue awareness, and other means. However, the sad fact is that despite the best efforts of senior executives, managers, legislators, advocators, human resources professionals, employment equity co-ordinators, and everyone else concerned about fostering diversity in the workplace - including the very people who are most affected - the cycle of accidental systemic discrimination continues.
The simple fact is that the key to the next stage of modern initiatives in the area of accessibility and diversity in the workplace lies with the architects and managers of technology environments. That is where the real opportunities lie for creating more flexible and accessible work environments for everyone - especially persons with disabilities.
Eramp specializes in using Microsoft tools and technologies to promote and facilitate diversity in the workplace... specifically by creating work environments that are more accessible, flexible, and humane for everyone - especially disabled people
