    "description": "Cadent currently stores asset drawing records on a shared drive solution, which has proven to be inefficient and prone to human error. This introduces risks to the quality and completeness of asset documentation. The existing manual process for managing and updating asset records creates operational inefficiencies and lacks scalability. \nTo address these challenges, Cadent seeks to implement a scalable, fully digitised, and automated Asset Record Management System that supports future growth.  \nThe current repository lacks essential capabilities such as metadata assignment and embedded workflow processes. Cadent requires a strategic system that enables metadata tagging of asset drawings and automation of workflows to improve operational efficiency. \nAdditionally, KPI reporting from the current system is manual and likely inaccurate. The new system should provide automated and reliable KPI reporting, enabling Cadent to focus on both the management and quality assurance of asset documentation.",
