THE PROBLEM

MIGRATE  THE WORKFLOW

From heavy Excel sheets system,  into an ALL IN ONE platform.

UNDEFINED PROCESS AND GOVERNANCE

Multiple users working  slowed down the workflow.

COGNITIVE OVERLOAD

Users were adopting bad practices in their process,  caused data and performance errors.

MISCOMMUNICATION

Unclear communication channels caused exhaustion and flow bottleneck.

THE MAIN CONSTRAINTS

DATABASE TECHNOLOGY

Data storage was limited to local directories and hard drives for security reasons.

DOCUMENTATION GAP

Task completion friction,  onboarding comprehension, follow up implementations and  governance.

Interview, architect, design, test, repeat… then build for development
