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.
