SAS® Bridge for ESRI® 9.4
Accessibility Conformance Report- Revision Date: December 08, 2021
- Contact: accessibility@sas.com
- VPAT version: 2.4
SAS Bridge for ESRI (hereafter ‘the software’) extends SAS® capabilities to inherently consider locational objects and spatial relationships as part of intelligence creation and display. It also extends Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS software’s capabilities in source data integration, cleansing, transformation, storage and business and analytic intelligence.
The software primarily uses the graphical user interface that is surfaced from the ESRI software environment. A response to the applicable Section 508 accessibility criteria as set forth in 36 CFR Part 1194 for the software can be requested from Environmental Systems Research Institute. The software surfaces a single Attribute Export window from the ArcGIS desktop.
The software was not tested against WCAG AAA or WCAG 2.1 success criteria.
The software does not contain multimedia content. Criteria related to multimedia are not applicable.
Software is not part of a closed system.
