Salesboom.com, a leading provider of hosted Customer Relationship Management (C.R.M.) software solutions has announced a new user interface option for visually impaired users. Describing it as a breakthrough for the C.R.M. industry, Troy Muise, C.E.O. and co-founder, of the company said, “[It] gives accessibility to our end-users across the board with no limitations.”

The new interface, which has been completely remodelled, is the first of its kind in the hosted C.R.M. software industry, and is set to pave the way for better accessibility options in the future.

The company is also planning to release a keyboard-to-voice engine, which would allow users with visual impairments to have the Salesboom C.R.M system read back any data inputs.

“It will make the lives of a number of visually impaired users much easier at their workplace," said John Courtney, a senior software engineer at Salesboom.com, who is visually impaired.

This new assistive technology will be especially beneficial for organisations that work with blind or visually impaired people, in securing employment, as it provides a system for internal use as well as with partner companies, in providing stable and accessible work places.
