Admin Center gives a centralized control of the instance to the admins with easy access to the platform capabilities, applications, and configurable admin dashboards.

The first stop experience within Admin Center is the Admin Home page. It helps you manage and track all your administrative work within a single page experience. You can prioritize your work based on the instance data. See [Admin Home](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/w285lYbKCZA6mmRV~oYmFg "Manage and track your daily administrative work and tools on your instance by quickly accessing the cards on the dashboard. It helps you stay updated on any high priority incidents or problems on the instance that might need immediate attention.") for more information about Admin Home features.  
Admin Center offers easy access to a number of key applications administrators need. You can access these applications directly from the Admin menu on the Admin Home page.
