VPAT Service
Today, more than 1.1 billion people worldwide experience vision impairment, prompting regulations that emphasize equitable access across public and private sectors. In the U.S., Section 508 enforces accessible IT procurement for federal agencies. Similar initiatives exist in regions like the EU and the British Commonwealth, requiring product compliance with accessibility laws and standards.
A VPAT evaluates your product’s compliance with these accessibility standards, helping:
-
- Strengthen inclusivity for disabled users.
-
- Enhance user trust and brand reputation.
- Meet procurement requirements for government and enterprise clients.
- Mitigate legal and financial risks.

Step 2: VPAT Completion
Using the audit findings, we precisely complete the VPAT to ensure it aligns with recognized accessibility standards.

A small sample of what our happy customers have to say about GrackleDocs
Port Huron Schools
The team at Grackle Docs is amazing! We began working with them with the intention of having 5 users on their product and, less than 4 months into working with them, we are now at 80 licenses.
Their product is so easy to learn, it’s allowed us to expand our user base much more rapidly than what we had thought we’d be able to. Most importantly for us, very few companies provide the customer support that we’ve received from Grackle Docs and we would recommend them to anyone!
Michigan Technological University
As a G-Suite campus we are seeing increased use of Google Docs for the creation of content in instruction and regular business operations including course syllabi and lecture notes as well as departmental memos and policy documents.
We continue to stress the importance of accessible documents to assure effective use by all and to maintain compliance. Being able to offer the Grackle Suite of tools to our users will help them accomplish this.
Collaborative.org
Grackle is an amazing suite that solved a big technical gap with our own organization and our member school districts who all use Google Workspace for document management.
As we began offering website accessibility services, we realized there wasn’t a good solution to suggest to our customers on how to manage accessibility within Google documents.
Having to download, convert, and scan through other tools was too cumbersome–until we found Grackle. Despite the pandemic shutdowns, we continue to promote Grackle during our large district tech and superintendent meetings as well as meetings with other collaboratives like ours.
Diamond
I was struggling with a few techniques for making Google Docs and Google Slides accessible. The Grackle add-on has been extremely effective in addressing those techniques and quite helpful in other areas as well—and it’s easy to use! Thank you Grackle; you’ve given me the confidence to share Google Workspace files once again.
