Integrating eramps into technology environments can be complex. Even the head of what is arguably the world's best collection of software developers, Bill Gates, expressed embarrassment at having released its Internet browser, Internet Explorer 4, before its accessibility features were fully integrated into the product (version 4.01 correcting this was released almost immediately).
IT people are busy and technology is very hard to keep up with. That is one important reason why trainers and consultants are used. It is also why eramps, if given any consideration, are usually at the bottom of the list for these busy people. Unfortunately, this tends to create an accidental but real self-stroking cycle of systemic discrimination:
The sad irony in all of this is that there is considerable support by senior management for the implementation of eramps (although the terms used differ), and most IT people, given the knowledge, skills, and resources would gladly implement technologies that were accessible to employees with disabilities. In addition, within the federal public sector the Employment Equity (EE) Act compels government departments, agencies, and federally regulated corporations to comply to a set of regulations designed to remove employment barriers for the benefit of specific groups of people - of which persons with disabilities are included. These requirements insist that people with disabilities have the right to be accommodated in the workplace specifically and society in general.
