Accessibility in Center-out Development
By centralizing UI generation and using standardized patterns, Pega Platform enables accessibility requirements your organization implements once at the core to be propagated throughout the application, maintaining consistent compliance across all channels and touchpoints while delivering a consistent experience everywhere, every time, and reducing the effort required to manage accessibility.
Accessibility in Center-out Development
The architecture supports compliance with major accessibility standards, including Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and Section 508 requirements. By embedding these standards into the core patterns and components, Pega Platform helps organizations meet their legal and ethical obligations regarding digital accessibility. This centralized approach helps organizations maintain compliance by applying accessibility requirements consistently, reducing risk and simplifying governance across applications. When accessibility standards evolve, updates can be made to the central components and patterns, automatically bringing all applications into compliance without requiring changes to each individual screen or form. Updating accessibility once at the core improves operational efficiency by eliminating repetitive rework and ensuring changes are applied consistently across channels. This centralized approach to accessibility compliance is a significant advantage of the Center-out architecture.
Center-out architecture provides numerous accessibility features by default that help applications meet the needs of all users. These features are built into the core platform, so that applications developed with Pega solutions inherently support accessibility without requiring extensive custom development.
