Fostering inclusive business travel with Amadeus Cytric Solutions for travel and expense.
Why does accessibility matter?
In today's fast-paced business world, making software applications accessible and inclusive isn't just a checkbox – it’s essential. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a disability. When navigating the internet or using online platforms and software solutions, people with disabilities often face digital barriers as most websites and online environments, including many travel and expense technology solutions, weren’t originally designed with these needs in mind. By making travel and expense manage-ment software more accessible, we can create tools that work for everyone. Inclusive design not only benefits all users, including individuals with disabilities. It also helps businesses foster an inclusive workplace culture and boost productivity with tools that cater to the needs of a diverse user base.
What about accessibility in the Amadeus Cytric travel and expense online platform?
Amadeus is continuously working towards WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for Cytric with the aim of creating an inclusive digital experience for all users, regardless of their abilities. That’s why Amadeus has set up a virtual team consisting of engineers, designers, and QA to ensure consistent compliance across its different products, all under the supervision of a Accessibility Compliance Manager. In addition, Amadeus has partnered with Level Access to help review our compliance in a more strategic matter and help improve our engineering team maturity with the guidelines Since June 2024, the Amadeus Cytric Solutions has officially secured an Accessibility Statement of Compliance from Avencod, an independent 3rd party accessibility auditor.
