Do you know if your SAAS Platform is accessible?
Is Your SaaS Platform WCAG 2.2 Compliant?
Or, to put it simply—can disabled people effectively use your digital products?
I’ve been receiving a growing number of enquiries from SaaS vendors regarding this very question. Often, these enquiries are sparked by a prospective client asking them about the accessibility of their platform.
The vendors' honest responses are often along the lines of: *“Er, we’re not sure, but we’ll get back to you.”* This uncertainty is precisely why they reach out to me and my team for support.
Ideally, these vendors would already know the answer and be able to confidently respond. A swift and affirmative response avoids delays in the decision-making process. In competitive scenarios, if Vendor A can say “Yes, we are fully compliant,” while Vendors B and C cannot, Vendor A is far more likely to win the business.
That said, we understand the world isn’t perfect. Accessibility compliance may not always be at the forefront of every business’s priorities. However, in today’s demand-driven market, it’s not just about ticking a legislative box—it’s about meeting the needs of your prospective clients.
The demand for accessible digital products is real, and it’s growing rapidly. Forward-thinking SaaS vendors who prioritise accessibility are not only doing the right thing ethically but also gaining a significant competitive edge.
So, here’s a suggestion: the next time you’re considering a SaaS product for your organisation, ask this important question about accessibility. By doing so, you’re not only contributing to a more inclusive digital world but also making a smarter, future-proof investment for your business.
Accessibility isn’t just a feature—it’s a fundamental necessity. Don’t let your platform fall behind.
