Email Service Guide is an online guide to email service providers, including reviews, comparisons, and a database of available providers. ESG is also the premier source of news articles relating to the email field. Recently ESG published a review of LTech’s Power Panel for Google Apps. Here is an overview of the article:
While Google Apps is a great application for most organizations, there are certain limitations that arise when performing more complex functions. Companies may avoid Google Apps because of the complications when performing bulk administrative tasks or its lack of a usable shared address book.
That’s where Power Panel comes in. Power Panel is an add-on product that increases the value of Google Apps with extended features like role-based security, shared contact search, user lifecycle management tools, and an integration framework for CRM data. New features are constantly being added and updated as LTech’s Google Apps Professional Services team continues to build out the platform.
Power Panel’s user base currently includes over 30,000 on Google Apps Premier and over 400,000 on Google Apps Partner Edition. LTech foresees even greater numbers after the latest Power Panel release, which includes new features for end-users and data integration.
Among the most useful features are shared contacts, macros, and the contact journal. The shared contacts module allows for bulk import of contacts and includes extended fields. Macros let IT workers make changes across large groups of users, such as requiring password changes or deleting all shared contacts. The contact journal displays information for end-users on upcoming appointment, shared documents, and other data.
With Power Panel, LTech has extended the capabilities of Google Apps to make it an all-around more useful product for any organization. When it comes to administrative and end-user features, Power Panel gets the job done.
