Webinar: WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance in PeopleSoft
The accessibility playbook you need now!
Accessibility compliance deadlines are coming!
This session examines where PeopleSoft’s Classic, Classic+, and Fluid pages meet—or fail—WCAG 2.1 AA standards. You’ll learn who’s at risk, what’s changing under the DOJ’s Title II ADA rule, and your practical options: adopting compliant Fluid pages, remediating existing pages, building custom solutions with eForms, or deploying accessible chatbot interfaces.
Common Accessibility Issues We Help Resolve
Inconsistent Accessibility Coverage
Compliant pages break down within multi-step processes due to customization, legacy components, or Fluid UI variations. Screen reader users encounter missing semantic structure and keyboard-only users face blocked transactions.
Technical Implementation Gaps
Insufficient visual contrast, poor focus management in modal dialogs and AJAX updates, and errors not programmatically associated with fields or announced to assistive technologies.
Configuration and Governance Challenges
Screen reader modes and delivered PeopleTools accessibility features require proper configuration, testing, and ongoing oversight that many organizations fail to implement effectively.
Insufficient Validation Methods
Over-reliance on automated testing or overlays does not sufficiently address real-world user experience or regulatory exposure, catching only 20-30% of actual accessibility issues.
Comprehensive Accessibility Solutions for PeopleSoft
Purpose-built services that embed sustainable compliance into your PeopleSoft operations
Gideon Taylor provides end-to-end PeopleSoft accessibility remediation and governance services focused on achieving practical, defensible WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. We address accessibility not as a point-in-time audit, but as a sustainable capability embedded within your PeopleSoft operations.
Our approach combines deep PeopleSoft technical expertise with real-world accessibility implementation experience. We understand how PeopleTools, Fluid UI, customizations, and complex workflows interact—and how to remediate issues at their source while preserving system stability and business continuity.
Through strategic configuration, targeted remediation, and proven tools like GT eForms and GT WebUX, we help organizations achieve compliance efficiently while improving the experience for all users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WCAG 2.1 AA compliance?
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance means meeting Level AA standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, which define how digital content must be designed to be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. The DOJ’s Title II ADA rule now mandates WCAG 2.1 AA as the technical standard for accessibility compliance across all digital systems, including enterprise applications like PeopleSoft. Organizations must ensure their systems meet specific requirements for keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast, focus management, and error handling.
Is WCAG 2.1 AA legally required?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Justice issued a final rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that mandates WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for public sector entities and higher education institutions. This shifts accessibility from reactive accommodation to proactive legal requirement. Organizations subject to ADA, Section 508, or equivalent mandates must ensure their digital systems, including PeopleSoft environments, meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards to avoid regulatory exposure and legal risk.
How do I make PeopleSoft WCAG 2.1 AA compliant?
Making PeopleSoft WCAG 2.1 AA compliant requires assessing current pages and workflows to identify accessibility gaps, remediating issues through proper configuration and development, and establishing governance to maintain compliance over time. This includes enabling PeopleSoft accessibility features, addressing keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility, ensuring proper contrast and focus management, and validating effectiveness through assistive technology testing. Gideon Taylor provides end-to-end PeopleSoft accessibility services to help organizations achieve sustainable compliance.
