Brunei Government Legal Agency

Digital Transformation with Alfresco & DigiWorks

About the Organization

This government agency plays a vital role in Brunei’s legal and regulatory landscape — from legislative drafting to legal advisory. As a public sector leader, the agency is responsible for guiding legal reforms and upholding national governance frameworks.

Challenge: Outdated Processes Hindering Public Service Delivery

Faced with legacy systems and increasing demand for faster, more transparent public services, the agency struggled with:

  • Fragmented document storage and manual case handling
  • Paper-based approval processes causing significant delays
  • Inconsistent access control and limited audit visibility
  • No real-time tracking of performance or workload

These challenges limited agility, transparency, and compliance — core pillars of effective governance.
