Accelerating Transformation in Web Accessibility on Enterprise Level

Accelerating Transformation in Web Accessibility on Enterprise Level

Antonella Severo, Sarah Mens-Escalas

We are all familiar with the concept of accessibility and its significance. In today's digital world, ensuring accessibility is not only a legal requirement but also a crucial element in creating inclusive and user-centered experiences for consumers. However, implementing accessibility on an enterprise level and standardizing it can be a complex task. It requires a comprehensive project that goes beyond initial expectations.

In this regard, the IT and Global Marketing teams from one of the largest global food companies will share a case study on their journey towards digital transformation in accessibility. The case study aims to delve into the strategies, challenges, and best practices involved in implementing accessibility initiatives across Drupal and ecommerce websites in a large-scale enterprise.

This session is designed for individuals in various roles within large companies who are planning to integrate accessibility standards, tools, and processes within their own organizations. It is also relevant for design and development agencies, as well as vendors, who play a crucial role in delivering accessible experiences and platforms.
