Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.0 - October 2017

Name of Product:

Oracle Utilities Opower Energy Efficiency Cloud Service eHER 19.4

Product Description:

The email Home Energy Report (eHER) is sent to customers on a monthly basis to help them understand how they're using energy in their home. The email reports are made up of a series of modules, which use the customer’s historical energy use data to deliver insights. These modules can be in the format of graphs, static content, or energy efficiency tips, all of which are delivered in the body of the email. The eHER content is viewed by customers via their email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc).

Date:

13-May-2019

Archive Note:

This VPAT applies to only version 19.4 prior to 21-Feb-2020. It does not apply to any versions of Oracle Utilities Opower Energy Efficiency Cloud Service eHER after this. This VPAT has been superseded by Oracle Utilities Opower Energy Efficiency Cloud Service eHER 19.4 (Updated).
