Terence,



I would not expect Scott to know or anyone currently.  :(



We are moving over to AWS and doing validations on the system of those environments.  We need to as part of that shift also turn on the accessibility mode in PeopleSoft and review where we have made changes to PeopleSoft (Enhancements, Modifications, or Customizations) to make sure they were developed with the requirements of accessibility.



This is not an overnight effort…. there is analysis, fixes, and testing.  And also to evaluate the architecture to confirm we do not have performance implications when “Accessibility” is turned on.



How can I help?  What do you need?  Timeline?  Plan? Are there deadlines?



Regards,

Christy Campbell

Christy,



I thought I should bring this internal communications matter to your attention. CATO (committee for accessible technology oversight) asked Scott Copeland what the status of turning on the accessibility mode in PSFT was. He said he did not know and that it was a source of frustration.



So there is confusion (and anxiety) among the colleges about accessibility mode. Having everyone on the project singing from the same hymnbook can address that problem.

Terrance,



We plan to include as part of Deployment 2 – The upgrade project but need to ensure that customizations have been developed for accessibility within that mode as well as we perform necessary Performance Testing to ensure timely processing for system and end users.



I have asked Tara to include line items in the project plan to ensure that accessibility is turned on and that we do a level of validation / scanning of the software and customizations to insure compliance around accessibility.



Does that clarify and help?

Christy,



I’m a member of the SBCTC’s technology accessibility oversight group (CATO) and am hoping that you can confirm that part of the Group 2 work will involve configuring PeopleSoft so accessibility mode can be invoked. Can you confirm?
