DUG4GOV - January Virtual User Group - Accessibility in Application Development

1 in 5 people have a disability and struggle to have access to the same services and products as people without disabilities. Now, more than ever, organizations are considering accessibility as a factor when deciding which application development platform to adopt.

Technology is used for most of the things people do every day: communicating, working, learning and online transacting. Organizations that do not offer accessible technology to their employees, citizens, customers, and students exclude a significant population from their community. This may result in a smaller talent pool to recruit from, smaller customer base and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

In June of 2021, The State of Colorado became the first state to pass into law a bill stating that internal and external applications must conform to an accessibility standard. As mindfulness for accessibility becomes more and more common, interest in an accessibility-focused application development platform will only rise. Microsoft Power Platform possesses competitive advantages in this category and benefits to any organization.

Join us for a conversation, demonstration and learn that:

• Power Apps is BOTH accessible for people with disabilities to use apps and develop apps. Unique to Power Platform!
• You do not need to be an accessibility expert as the Power Apps interface and toolsets are designed to help with accessibility adoption.
• Power Apps is WCAG 2.1 compliant – and why that’s important.

Spread the word, and we look forward to seeing you!
