Description

Project Date: Q4 2006 - Q1 2007

The launch of Google Apps to enterprise organizations required a new control panel for administrators that could scale to the new set of services and features that Google had developed. This control panel allowed domain administrators to manage their account, users, permissions, and services.

The design of this control panel has successfully fulfilled its primary design goal: scale with the needs of Google Apps administrators over time, having served this purpose for over two years.
