Accessibility

Digital accessibility is critical to performance.

With rapidly emerging technology and compliance requirements, we are focused on growing a mature accessibility practice, internally and externally, to build products that are accessible by default.

Until recently, there was a fight in the courts as to whether the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) applied to digital properties. While the courts consistently ruled in favor, everyone was waiting for the Department of Justice to weigh in. On March 18, 2022, the DOJ made it clear that Digital Accessibility is the law of the land.

Accessibility and product performance issues are not limited to compliance and disabilities. Performance is critical to every user, whatever the situation. Accessibility issues also arise on mobile and wearable devices or when experiencing limited network connectivity. We focus on delivering digital experiences and products that are designed to be usable for as many people as possible with optimal performance in all use cases.

  • 11.5% of a lifetime is spent with a disability
  • 97% of websites are inaccessible

Five different types of disabilities users could have, including Cognitive, Visual, Auditory, Motor, and/or Speech

Why we pursue accessibility.

As an inclusive and global community of technologists, we believe it’s our duty to scale our investment in being champions of digital access.

It's the right thing to do: Our goal is to establish a mature practice, internally and externally, to build products that are accessible by default.

It's an opportunity for innovation and impact: Accessibility at the enterprise is ripe for exponential innovation. With the rise of new technologies, including AI, there are many opportunities to align purpose with technology to serve all users.

It's the law: With changing laws and guidelines, enterprises may bear new risks for non-compliance. The number of lawsuits being filed against companies whose digital products and services are inaccessible has grown considerably in recent years.
