Workflow Redesign for CMS Operation Efficiency – Reducing Manual Transfers and Moving Beyond Spreadsheets

Digital technology has become indispensable for markets and society, and digital transformation (DX) is increasingly a critical area for business innovation.
However, many companies still face challenges in fully understanding and leveraging digital transformation due to its complexity.

Objectives of Digitalization and DX in Marketing

There are two main objectives in digitalizing marketing and advancing DX:

Rebuilding Marketing Toward Data-Driven Management

The future of marketing lies in companies’ efforts to comprehensively understand customer needs and behaviors across platforms, devices, products, and services.
Yet, many organizations struggle to effectively utilize “big data,” largely because their data is siloed.
Going forward, marketing activities and their management may need to be fundamentally restructured.

Relieving Employees from Repetitive Tasks and Stress

We have observed an increase in marketers feeling demotivated or overwhelmed.
While digital tools are introduced to improve efficiency, they often result in fragmented work and increased time pressure, causing workers to become task-driven rather than strategic.

In this use case, we focus on preventing data silos and reducing manual copy-pasting work by moving away from spreadsheet-based operations.

Use Case: Workflow Redesign for Efficient CMS Operation

We focus on the repetitive tasks involved in updating a website — uploading content to a CMS and publishing it.
For example, many projects manage content in spreadsheets and repeatedly copy-paste data into CMS, which wastes time and causes errors.
Even if not using spreadsheets, if you find yourself performing repetitive tasks before CMS upload, reconsider your process and consider automation.

Target cases:

Main Issues

Is your workflow complicated due to multiple departments ortakeholders handling the same formatted content differently?

As the number of stakeholders increases, workflows and processes become more complex, making it essential to map and optimize the entire process.

CMS Operation Workflow Redesign

The biggest challenge here is the time and cost spent uploading easily formatted content to CMS, combined with data silos preventing scalable future data handling.

Traditionally, many manual tasks are involved in this process.

Use Case (Traditional)

Start by organizing the entire process and identifying wasted efforts, repetitive tasks, and duplicated work.
You can simplify complicated workflows like this:

Use Case (Optimized)

Having those who possess the information directly input data reduces errors and speeds up entry, rather than relying on intermediaries.
