Hello Elizabeth,

I probably may not be a complete expert on things but this is how i
would approach your problem. I would map every minute detail of the
process involved. Once having done that, i would then want to
understand the internal social fabric that would affect daily work
and find places where i would be able to stop all the unwanted time
gaps. 

This would then enable me to understand the problem in whole and then
start developing the system that will nearly take care of these
issues. Remember that during the transition from paper beauraucracy
to digital one the processess and people's work pattern needs to be
understood. Sometimes the new process that you define will find
resistance and the changes will gradually take effect to see the
results. 

If these 300 are from one department then you probably will have to
suffice understanding the work process. If they are not from one
department then you wil probably need to interview approximately 4
from each deptartment arrive at a possible solution. 

You might find it difficult to get some ready made tools to arrive at
your conclusion but if you do go by this approximation, you should be
fine.
