Hello All,

Our disability services manager has asked that I forward the following
questions from a community partner. They are a small disability-focused
organization who is researching IT tools. I have offered some thoughts,
but if you have anything I'll be forwarding them along.

1. What email and office suite would you recommend that would allow 50 or
so people to communicate and collaborate in an accessible manner. I know
Gsuite and Outlook/Office 365 are options. Anything I should consider
beyond what I can find in the VPATs? Any other tools I should consider.

2. Webtools and host that would allow us to transition from a free service
to a robust and accessible website with listserve or discussion board
functions? Right now they are considering Squarespace but are open to
others. It is important that we can find a vendor partner that we can work
with to get things accessible at a reasonable rate.

Thanks again!
