IBM, Slalom, Merkle, and more will harness the power of Level Access’s platform to deliver inclusive customer experiences
STAFFORD, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Level Access, a global leader in digital accessibility, has expanded its Partner Program to enable more organizations to deliver inclusive, impactful digital experiences to their customers while also supporting accessibility compliance.
Selected partners will join a network of industry-leading organizations, from consultancies such as IBM, Slalom, and Merkle to large digital agencies such as Americaneagle.com and accessibility industry innovators such as Fable.
With rising regulatory requirements like the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) driving accessibility awareness and program adoption, now is the perfect time for agencies, software vendors, technology platforms, and consultancies to join the program and build accredited accessibility expertise.
“Occasional trainings and siloed efforts won’t drive meaningful accessibility. Organizations need accessibility skills embedded across teams to create business impact,” said Peter Cummings, VP of Global Partners and Routes to Market at Level Access. “The benefits go beyond compliance. When partners lead on accessibility, they help their customers create digital experiences that work for everyone—unlocking benefits across sales, customer loyalty, and retention.”
“Surfacing and prioritizing accessibility issues early—and getting it right the first time—is critical,” said Justin Ablett, Front Office Transformation Lead at IBM Consulting. “Many clients have large, complex digital portfolios of products and assets. Our partnership with Level Access gives us a ‘mission control’ view to manage accessibility at scale, strengthen governance, and allocate work efficiently. This proactive approach helps to strengthen our competitive position and unlock new revenue opportunities.”
The program includes three accreditation levels—Verified, Certified, and Expert—and provides structured training on accessibility best practices and the Level Access Platform. Through the platform, partners gain a comprehensive view of clients’ digital portfolios, enabling them to embed accessibility early in the development life cycle and reduce costly late‑stage fixes.
“This is a pivotal moment for digital accessibility,” said Tim Banker, Head of Platform Design at Slalom. “As organizations accelerate digital transformation, they’re recognizing that inclusive experiences are essential to reach broader audiences and drive sustained growth. We’re proud to partner with Level Access to help clients embed accessibility in their digital strategies so they can move faster, deliver with quality, and create experiences that work for everyone.”
The Partnership Program has also expanded to include technology integrations that create value for customers on both sides. For example, through one integration, Contentsquare users can prioritize fixes based on user impact drawing from Level Access insights, and through a partnership with Fable, Level Access customers will gain deeper usability insights from real‑world testing by people with disabilities.
“As accessibility matures as a business priority, organizations are looking for seamless ways to build inclusion into everyday workflows,” said Abid Virani, COO of Fable. “Our partnership with Level Access brings together the lived experience of people with disabilities and platform-driven insights, giving teams the confidence to make accessibility decisions early and often. This integration is critical to building a more inclusive digital world by ensuring that people who depend on accessibility play a role in shaping it.”
