You could get a few answers on this, but I doubt any of them are good.
My impression was that there are a lot of forms, JavaScript, and a very
complex (almost certainly table based) layout.

If Jaws does manage to get around the interface ok, I doubt it would be
understandable.

Ask the provider? This is probably a mountain of a project, if you can
even get access to changing the interface.

AFAIK it is a web based application, so WCAG applies. I'm not aware of
anything Seibel specific.

Usability testing with a variety of users/technologies combined with
expert audits? In terms of a methodology, I suggest something like this:
