In mid-November 2024, Consist had the honor of sponsoring the TechShare Pro conference, held at HSBC’s global headquarters in Canary Wharf, London. The conference, organized annually by AbilityNet, was hosted by HSBC, the largest bank in Europe and one of the largest banks in the world. TechShare Pro provides a unique opportunity to showcase cutting-edge technologies in the field of digital accessibility and emphasize the commitment to creating equitable digital experiences for all.
Digital Accessibility Vision: A Global Commitment
HSBC, which has committed to becoming “the most digitally accessible bank in the world,” hosted the conference at its headquarters to foster dialogue and knowledge sharing on accessibility. These values align closely with Consist’s mission: to create advanced technological solutions that enable organizations to easily and effectively make their services and documents accessible. During the conference, Consist’s team presented NAGIX, the world’s most advanced document accessibility solution. This solution enables the digital accessibility of documents for banks, financial institutions, energy and gas companies, insurance firms, telecoms, and any organization required to distribute accessible documents to its clients on a large scale—such as a bank sending account statements to customers or a telecom company distributing monthly bills.
The Technology Behind NAGIX
NAGIX’s technology automates document accessibility processes—from regular documents to PDF-UA files, in compliance with the stringent international accessibility standards. This ensures that every user—regardless of any disability—can access essential information in a simple, clear, and available format.
Leading the Way: Meetings with International Partners
Our booth at the conference attracted significant attention from representatives of leading organizations worldwide, who expressed strong interest in our document accessibility solution. Among the distinguished guests who visited us were MBE Mali Fernando, Global Head of Digital Experience and Accessibility at HSBC, as well as representatives from many other prominent international organizations.
The discussions and connections we made at the conference highlighted the importance of global collaboration to create innovative accessibility solutions. We are proud to be part of this global movement and to share our knowledge and experience, which we have gained over the years of making documents accessible for most banks and financial institutions in Israel, as well as organizations in various sectors of the Israeli economy, with international organizations striving for digital equality.
A Word of Thanks!
Our experience at TechShare Pro was incredible—we met inspiring people, exchanged innovative ideas, and participated in important conversations shaping the future of digital accessibility. A big thank you to the AbilityNet team, led by CEO Amy Low, for organizing such an outstanding event, and to the HSBC team for their warm and professional hospitality.
Continuing to Lead the Way
This conference further strengthened Consist’s commitment to continue developing advanced solutions in the field of digital accessibility, leading the way toward a world where digital information and services are available and accessible to everyone.
