Context

This application is an extremely complicated product for several reasons: It needs to manage massive amounts of data, it has enforce a workflow for multiple users and roles, and it has many different types of users (from CIOs down to entry-level application repackagers).

Solution

Early versions of this application were very heavy on grids, frames, and trees. This created an intensely intimating application, especially for one that runs over the Web. Our improved designs emphasized the tasks, chunked processes into discrete steps, and made effective use of iconography and whitespace.

What I Like

I like the segementation between the task links and the data links. The clean and simple header is striking, but it allows the white "workspace" to remain at center stage.

What I'd Change

These few screenshots are just a sample... There needs to be more internal consistency and visual linkage between different parts of the application. Also, there needs to be a single, unified navigation mechanism.
