Hi Geri,

I can see a few potential points of pain for your organization.

Does this application provide access to information or services for which your organization receives federal funding? If so you may potentially be risking a compliant under section 504.

You may be risking a complaint under the ADA in the following two situations.

Does this application provide access to information or services to members of the public and is there an accessible alternative to using this application available from the same place where you link to the external application?

Does this application provide access to information or services to employees and/or potential employees and is there an accessible alternative to using this application that is available from the same places where you link to the external application?
