Central Desktop Does It Right

February 18, 2010

Whether you are a customer of Central Desktop or presently evaluating SaaS workgroup, enterprise & community business collaboration solutions, take a glimpse of their new user interface (UI) design. I think you will be highly impressed.

As part of the Product Management Lifecycle, user interface design/experience is critical to customer adoption/usage. For the past few months, the folks at Central Desktop have been heads down working on giving their user interface a facelift. They have interviewed and collaborated with hundreds of customers and incorporated a tremendous amount of feedback into what they are calling Central Desktop 2.0. According to their CEO, Isaac Garcia, a keen eye was applied to optimizing the flow of information, readability, iconography, click optimization (reduction), navigation and overall usability.

This is just a preview of what is coming next week.

As a Growth Venture Capital investor in Central Desktop, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Isaac and his co-founder, Arnulf Hsu, for a number of years. I love to see the passion they exhibit in delivering compelling solutions to customers every day. 

If you are an analyst, media or blogger of Influence Marketing and would like a briefing (and product tour) prior to release next week, please contact [email protected] to schedule.

Also, register for one of the Live Webinars they are hosting next week as part of the Central Desktop 2.0 launch that will highlight the key changes, upgrades and some tips on how to leverage the most of the refreshed User Interface.

Central Desktop 2.0 Release Webinars are available on:
