I would love to know this as well. We are in the process of creating an institutional repository of all the VPATs for all of the technology tools we use on campus. I am trying to figure out how much verifying/checking of the VPAT contents we need to do and where that duty should reside. I also need guidance on how to make sure the VPAT stays current with all the updates that happen.

Thanks for any guidance,
Rachel

Subject: [WebAIM] Who does your VPAT?

I'm curious how companies with several products produce accurate VPATs. Are they outsourced? Build in house?
Does anyone have knowledge as to who outsources their VPATs, who builds them on their own..?
Besides "accuracy", what is the community's preference?

If this is the wrong forum for this type of question, feel free to redirect me.

Thanks,
Jess
