Web Application Inaccessibility Risks
Inaccessible Web applications threaten your organization's revenues. Laws in several countries prevent many public sector markets-including U.S. Federal agencies-from purchasing inaccessible Web applications. Many private-sector companies are also beginning to require accessibility because organizations using inaccessible Web applications are subject to anti-discriminatory legal action from employees with disabilities. To protect current and future revenues and avoid anti-discriminatory litigation, your organization must produce and maintain accessible Web applications. Web application accessibility is relevant to several types of organizations:
- Web application manufacturers must make their Web applications accessible or risk losing public sector contracts.
- Public sector organizations such as U.S. Federal government agencies are required by laws including Section 508 to develop and purchase accessible Web applications.
- All organizations using Web applications face the potential of anti-discriminatory legal action from employees who cannot properly fulfill job functions because the organization's applications are inaccessible.
Inaccessible Web applications expose your organization to revenue loss, punitive damages, and compliance risks. An SSB BART Group Web Application Assessment is the first step in resolving these risks.
