Case Study: a 4-star military headquarters saves 400 people-hours with Onebrief

4-Star Military Headquarters - Customer Case Study

The customer, a 4-star military headquarters, faced the challenge of planning a multi-day "writing conference" for its Operational Plans (OPLANs). This labor-intensive process historically required over 20 people to travel and collaborate using disconnected files from Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, which lacked version control and made simultaneous work difficult. They turned to the vendor, Onebrief, and its application to find a solution.

The Onebrief solution automated the OPLAN drafting process using its collaborative cards, lists, and real-time updating features, which provided critical audit logging and version control. This eliminated the need for the multi-day conference entirely. The measurable impact was a savings of over 400 people-hours on a single engagement, with one user reporting the ability to complete a month's worth of work in a single day.
