(the look and feel of making replacements using paper-based filing)
You can probably reword it to fit your sentence, but it most likely refers to this electronic system being user-friendly and intuitive as if it were the old-fashioned system using paper.

: I agree with your explanation, but the wording could be better... maybe something like "filing requests electronically has the same feel and user-friendliness as the old paper filing system". Yes, I agree the Asker will need to re-word to fit the context.
