By producing templates, implementing the TemplateExtender tool and conducting training, Rehngruppen has helped Värmdö municipality to streamline and simplify their production of accessible documents and presentations.
All templates are adapted to comply with accessibility guidelines. For example, we have adapted the reading order, text sizes, contrasts and margins. This ensures that the information in Excel sheets, Word documents and presentations reaches all recipients.
Of course, the templates are designed according to the municipality's graphic profile. Elements, colors and fonts are uniformly placed in the different programs' templates. Värmdö municipality has a uniform and easily accessible way of working with documents and presentations.
With our cloud solution TemplateExtender, Värmdö municipality today has access to its templates in Word, PowerPoint and Excel directly via Office programs. The templates work both in web apps and desktop applications, on PC and Mac. The tool saves time by gathering all templates, images and functions in one place. This reduces the risk of mistakes and makes work more efficient.
A particular advantage is the integration with Mediaflow, which links images to the templates and allows the images' alternative text to be applied automatically. In addition, Värmdö municipality has access to a presentation library with ready-made PowerPoint pages.
We are happy that Värmdö municipality chose to offer their users a training and a seminar. The seminar focused on introducing the users to the features of TemplateExtender and showing how the templates work in practice. In addition, we offered valuable tips on basic Office usage. The seminar was recorded and can therefore introduce new employees to the templates.
The training was in-depth and aimed at those who work administratively with the templates and images in the tool. The training created a long-term and sustainable way of working for Värmdö municipality and their 1300 users.
