My manager has passed-off a project to me from one of or former co-worker who left the company. It seems some of our team members are spending 20+ hours a week on creating reports and accessing databases and I've expressed that it should only take 3-4 hours a week to do that portion of the project. We've already creating programs, Macros, etc..that has cut down the process significantly.
Manager has already got developers, programmers, and our software engineering team involved. My manager is wanting to basically automate the process and make it so we have basically a superuser that runs database reports in the back-end and upload that to a secure server to be accessed by our team.
The more I dig, the more complex it gets as I have to get multiple people including our SQL team to try and figure out the functionality of our band-end system and if it allows host logins and having it upload from within a virtual machine to one of our local drives. Also, my job is far from technical a role.
I feel our process can be heavily improved by being more efficient. What's the best approach to this without basically saying it's not worth the effort?

This question as it is seems overly technical and can be cut down and made more generalized to help others as well. Not everyone who comes here is familiar with the tech issues you mentioned and it adds nothing of value to the actual question itself (which I think is a good question).
