Legal Ops Transformation in Just 10 Months: How AGG Streamlined Their Employee Lifecycle with Power Platform
In the high-stakes world of lobbying and public affairs, speed,
accuracy, and trust are everything. For R&R Partners, a
Utah-based consulting firm supporting lobbyists and advocacy teams,
staying on top of legislative activity was mission-critical—but also
a logistical nightmare.
Every year, Utah’s legislature convenes for just 45 days. During
this fast-paced session, hundreds of bills are introduced, revised,
and passed. For R&R, this meant manually monitoring bill updates,
analyzing relevance, summarizing implications, and generating
personalized client reports—every single week. Each client needed
insights on what legislation to support, oppose, or remain neutral
on, along with guidance on how those decisions could impact their
business.
The process? Manual, slow, and incredibly resource-intensive. The
R&R team was spending up to 20 hours per client per week, parsing
legislative updates, extracting data from the state website,
formatting Excel reports, and emailing summaries. Multiply that by
the number of clients, and the impact on productivity and client
service was undeniable.
The Challenge
Manual Tracking and Reporting at Scale
R&R’s core challenge stemmed from the Utah State Legislature’s limited session timeline and the rapid pace of bill changes. Their team had to:
- Manually subscribe to alerts from the Utah Legislature website
- Cross-reference bill updates with their clients’ industries and interests
- Draft weekly reports, with detailed commentary and recommended actions
- Email custom reports to each client, often manually formatting Excel sheets
- Repeat this process each week throughout the session
This system created bottlenecks, hindered client responsiveness, and left little room for strategic value-add activities. With increasing client demand and an inflexible process, R&R needed a solution—and fast.
The Solution
Automating the Legislative Lifecycle with Power Platform
Imperium Dynamics partnered with R&R to build a
custom Model-Driven Power App and client portal, completely
transforming how they managed legislation and client communication.
Using Microsoft Power Platform, our team developed a solution that
pulled bill data directly from the Utah Legislative API. From there,
the system enabled:
- Automatic syncing of new and updated bills into a centralized database
- Client-specific bill assignment, with fields to set position (support/oppose/neutral), comments, and priority
- Automated report generation in both portal and Excel formats
- Color-coded dashboards and views tailored to each client’s interest and reporting preference
- Streamlined communications, allowing the R&R team to send custom links or Excel reports directly from within the app
The portal allowed clients to see a real-time view of relevant bills, complete with commentary from R&R consultants. No more chasing down updates or spending hours crafting emails.

It is one of the best solutions we have deployed so far. It is comparatively cheaper, yet so elegant, sleek, and user-friendly. Not like other expensive and poor-performing solutions

The Imperium Approach
At Imperium Dynamics, our goal wasn’t just to deliver a tool—it was
to embed ourselves in R&R’s business model. From discovery to
deployment, we worked closely with their team to understand the
nuances of the legislative cycle and ensure the Power Platform
solution aligned with their workflows.
We also enabled future scalability—R&R has the flexibility to
replicate this system across other states, as their client base
expands and legislative landscapes evolve.
