Is your SAAS Platform WCAG 2.2 Compliant?
Does this make sense?
Let us put it another way, can disabled people use your digital products?
I am getting enquiries from SASS Vendors on exactly this question. On many occasions, it was driven by one of their prospective clients.
Their honest answer was “er, we are not sure but we will get back to you.”.
Hence their reason for reaching out to me and my team.
Obviously, in an ideal world, it would have been easier if they were able to answer the question straight away. This prevents a potential delay in the decision-making process and, if Vendor A is able to say “Yes” and Vendors B & C are not able to, Vendor A is more likely to secure the business.
However, we live in a demand-driven world.
If the demand from your prospects is there, this a stronger driving force than any amount of legislation to look at this seriously and get ahead of your competitors. The demand is there and it is growing.
Next time you are considering a SASS product for your company, ask the question. In doing so, you are helping the digital world become a more inclusive place and, by choosing an accessible SAAS product, you are making a better investment for your business!
