Jaggaer UK Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement applies to the JAGGAER ONE solution
How accessible this website is
JAGGAER develops our solutions to be compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA standard.
We know that some parts of this website are not yet fully accessible in so far as the User must manually select the “Use Accessible Controls” option, and the “High Contrast Stylesheet” option, in order to fully access the content.
Users are therefore advised to enable both options in order to make the solution display fully accessible pages.

What we are doing to improve accessibility
We execute regular accessibility audits via specialised third-party companies, and we commit to plan and fix all issues found during the audits following a scaled approach depending on the issue severity and resolution complexity.
The last accessibility audit that we completed was in January 2021. This audit produced several mitigation activities that were planned and released in our 21.1 and 21.2 version releases.
We plan to complete addressing all the exceptions indicated above in the version release to be deployed at the end of Q1 2022 (i.e. version release 22.1).
We will then plan a new accessibility audit before the end of 2022 in order to assess the correct execution of the aforementioned plan.
JAGGAER are committed to receiving and evaluating all the accessibility issues found by our users and to addressing these issues where appropriate through a maintenance release or main version release – depending on the issue severity and resolution complexity.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 29 September 2021.
The platform was last audited on the 21.1 version release in February 2021. The test was carried out by Criterion 508 Solutions, Inc.
We used a risk-based approach to identify the areas used most heavily by users, and to identify areas with the most important business-related functionality, in order to decide on the use cases for the accessibility audits. In any case, our platform uses centralised components to manage the display of all pages and page elements, so we are confident that the accessibility level will be consistent across the platform regardless of which use cases are audited.
Note that specific areas such as real-time Auction monitors and graphic Dashboards have been excluded from the accessibility audits because the features available in those pages are also available through alternative and fully accessible pages.
Users can obtain a copy of our full accessibility test report on demand using the contact information above.
