ContextThe Double-Take product line included many different, often inconsistent, user interfaces tailored towards specific solutions. Customers were confused as to which UI should be used to solve which kind of problem. |
SolutionWe built a single management console application, using an internal extensibility architecture, to provide a consistent user interface for all Double-Take features. |
What I LikeThe overall design is very approachable and does a good job of bringing all of Double-Take's features "under one roof." We paid very close attention to details, so that common Windows conventions (like multiple selection and Copy-to-Clipboard) would be available everywhere. |
What I'd ChangeThe sheer complexity of the Double-Take product line makes it difficult to distill the product down to its essence. I would have liked to have spent more time truly understanding the most common scenarios so that we could have optimized more effectively for those cases. |
