Making business applications accessible, in today's world, is no longer just a nice idea - it's the law in an increasing number of contexts. This book provides developers, administrators, and IT managers with a complete set of guidelines for developing accessible user interfaces for SAP software. What does "accessibility" mean? Which requirements and standards are mandatory in development? With the comprehensive reference, administrators learn everything they need to make workplaces truly accessible, such as which operating system settings apply and which assistive technology is available for visual or mobility impairments. Developers will profit from the extensive reference chapters on UI elements and from the authors' indispensible advice on all aspects of classical dynpro, Web Dynpro ABAP and Java, and SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe - as well as comprehensive lists of Do's and Don'ts. The highly-detailed explanations and descriptions in this book ensure that you have the know-how and tools to make your applications equally accessible and controllable for all users.
