Executive Summary
This report documents the successful implementation of a new Digital Documentation
System at LEGGO Information Technology Solutions. The project was initiated to address
severe operational inefficiencies and data integrity risks stemming from a decentralized,
manual, paper-excel-based workflow. By architecting and deploying a custom solution
using the Google Workspace platform, we replaced the legacy system with a centralized,
automated, and scalable alternative. The primary outcome of this initiative was a 98%
reduction in time required for data retrieval tasks, alongside significant improvements in
data security and team productivity. This document details the problem, the methodology
employed, and an analysis of the results, concluding with the recommendation that this
model be adopted for similar future projects.

Introduction
In today's competitive landscape, operational efficiency and data integrity are paramount.
LEGGO Information Technology Solutions identified a critical internal bottleneck within its
client documentation process that limited productivity and posed a significant risk to our
data assets. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the
project undertaken to resolve these issues. It will cover the background of the problem, the
methods used to design and implement a solution, an analysis of the quantifiable impact,
and a summary of the project's success.
Background Information
Prior to this project, the company's standard operating procedure for managing client
records relied on a network of local Microsoft Excel files and paper transcript. These files
were stored in a complex hierarchy of folders and sub-folders across individual
CASE_STUDY_0001
workstations. This decentralized system required staff to manually search through
numerous directories to locate information. There was no single source of truth, version
control was non-existent, and the risk of data corruption or accidental deletion was
unacceptably high. This manual process had been in place for several years and was a
well-known source of frustration and inefficiency.
This is a A.I. generated content. The purpose it to grasp the scenario.
Problem Statement
The legacy documentation system presented three core problems that negatively
impacted the business:
1. Operational Inefficiency: The process of locating records was excessively timeconsuming. Direct measurement showed that retrieving the data for 50 clients took
an employee an average of 40 to 60 minutes, severely limiting the volume of work
that could be handled.

2. Data Integrity and Security Risk: The decentralized storage of files on local drives
created a high risk of permanent data loss, version conflicts, and unauthorized
access. There was no effective method for auditing changes or ensuring data
consistency.
3. Lack of Scalability: The existing system was incapable of supporting business
growth. An increase in client volume would have led to a proportional,
unsustainable increase in administrative workload and complexity.
Methodology
To address the problem statement, I followed a structured, four-phase project
methodology:
1. Phase 1: Diagnosis and Requirements Gathering: I conducted a thorough
analysis of the existing workflow, interviewing staff to identify specific pain points.
The key requirements were defined as: data centralization, rapid search/retrieval,
data entry standardization, enhanced security, and low implementation cost.
2. Phase 2: Solution Design and Prototyping: I designed a solution using the Google
Workspace suite for its cost-effectiveness, collaborative features, and robust
security.
a. Google Forms was selected for standardized data input.

b. Google Sheets was chosen as the centralized database (single source of
truth).
c. Google Apps Script was used to automate data validation and notifications.
d. Figma was utilized to create high-fidelity mockups of the user interface and
a potential data dashboard, which proved crucial for aligning with
management and demonstrating the vision to end-users.
3. Phase 3: Implementation and Deployment: The system was built and tested in a
staging environment. A phased rollout was conducted, accompanied by training
sessions for all relevant staff members to ensure a smooth transition and promote
user adoption.

4. Phase 4: Validation and Measurement: The success of the project was measured
by conducting a time trial that directly compared the legacy process with the new
system on the identical task of retrieving 50 client records.

Benchmark Comparison: Legacy_Excel_System V.S. Google_WorkSpace_System
Legacy System Performance:
•
Average Time: (48 + 51 + 45 + 42) / 4 = 46.5 Minutes
CASE_STUDY_0001
New System Performance:
•
Average Time: (1.2 + 1.0 + 1.5 + 0.9) / 4 = 1.15 Minutes
Conclusion:
•
•
Average Time Saved: 45.35 Minutes per task
Performance Improvement: 97.5% Reduction in Time ((46.546.5−1.15 )×100%)
The data from this multi-user benchmark test provides definitive proof that the new Digital
Documentation System outperforms the legacy process by an order of magnitude. The system has
successfully eliminated the operational bottleneck, and the qualitative feedback confirms a
significant improvement in the daily workflow and morale of the end-users.
Analysis
The implemented system yielded significant quantitative and qualitative improvements:
•
•
Quantitative Analysis: The primary performance metric showed a dramatic
improvement. The task that previously took 40-60 minutes was consistently
completed in under 1 minute using the new system. This represents a 98%
reduction in time for this core task, translating directly into reclaimed employee
hours that can be allocated to value-adding activities.
Qualitative Analysis: Beyond the time savings, the project had several positive
qualitative impacts. Staff morale improved due to the elimination of a frustrating
daily task. The centralization of data eliminated the risk of data loss and improved
overall security. The company now possesses a clean, reliable, and auditable
dataset.
Alternatives Solution
Two alternative solutions were considered during the design phase:
1. Procuring Off-the-Shelf CRM Software: This option was evaluated for its
comprehensive feature set. However, it was rejected due to high licensing costs, a
potentially lengthy implementation timeline, and the inclusion of many features
that were unnecessary for our specific needs.
2. Upgrading the Existing Excel System (e.g., using SharePoint): While this would
have provided better version control than local files, it would not have fully resolved
CASE_STUDY_0001
the core issues of data entry standardization and the clunky user interface. This
option was dismissed as a partial solution that failed to address the root causes of
the inefficiency.
Recommendation
The custom-built Google Workspace solution was recommended and implemented
because it provided the most optimal balance of cost, functionality, and ease of use for the
specific needs of LEGGO IT. The results of the project have validated this decision. It is my
strong recommendation that this agile and cost-effective model of leveraging integrated
platforms like Google Workspace be considered the primary option for future internal
process modernization projects.
Conclusion
The Digital Documentation System project successfully achieved all of its stated
objectives. By replacing an outdated, high-risk manual process with an automated,
centralized solution, we have unlocked significant productivity gains, fortified our data
security, and created a scalable infrastructure to support future business growth. The 98%
improvement in data retrieval efficiency serves as a clear indicator of the project's success
and provides a powerful case for continued investment in digital transformation.
