Business Excellence, Quality and Their Costs

AuraPortal presents an innovative methodology to achieve business excellence at the lowest cost through the automation of business processes.

Boca Raton, Florida, May 24, 2013 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced the launch of an innovative methodology that, applied to a Business Process Management suite like AuraPortal, helps to ensure strict compliance with Regulations, thus reducing management costs to a minimum.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum, the renowned analyst firm, in its Decision Matrix (2011) report.

Business Excellence is only possible if the Quality concept filters through all the actions taken in an organization. But this requires many resources and the cost is often beyond the possibilities of any company.

Using a BPM suite, the entity’s Quality policy is converted into automated management processes, which leads to a scrupulous conformity with standards. The system itself induces conformity, as it marks the steps to follow.

These processes should not only be designed taking the Regulations into consideration; they should also include quality assurance controls, and actions (most of them automatic) to be performed if breaches should occur.

This way, the appropriate actions will be automatically put in place to ensure strict compliance, with a drastic reduction in risk, work (cost) and response times. This involves virtually no additional work to what is already performed in the company’s daily operations.

Furthermore, as external users also participate in business processes receiving and sending tasks, integrated quality compliance is ensured.

The BPM suite is responsible for registering and showing real situations to the process supervisors and the company management (times, delays or advances, deviations regarding patterns, costs, etc.) from all processes while they are running, without waiting for subsequent audits.

This information is used by the Dashboard to monitor the BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) and BI (Business Intelligence), issuing data which is evaluated to continuously optimize the system, modifying the processes and business rules accordingly.

AURA is a global BPM (Business Process Management) software provider delivering a solution that creates, without the need of IT programming, Business Process Workflow Execution Models. AuraPortal is 100% Web-based, and is complementary to existing ERP and CRM systems.

Sugar Daddies Are Quick Financial Fix for Many Single Moms, Dating Website Survey Shows

There is no greater gift a mother can offer to her child for International Children’s Day on June 1st than her unconditional love and a life free of financial hardship. According to the results of a recent SugarDaddyForMe.com survey, thousands of single mothers living across the U.S. strive to offer their children exactly that – a life they can enjoy to the fullest free from financial worries.

New York, NY, USA (May 24, 2013) — 77% of single moms responding to a new dating survey have taken up the Sugar Baby lifestyle for the financial benefits it can provide for themselves and their kids, according to a new online dating survey of 3,200 SugarDaddyForMe.com female members, aka Sugar Babies. Sugar Babies are single women who prefer dating prosperous men. A full 92% of the Sugar Daddies who answered another recent SugarDaddyForMe survey were willing to spend money on the children of their Sugar Baby.

The survey was conducted in honor of Children’s Day, which is celebrated internationally each year on June 1st.

The rapidly growing movement toward trying the Sugar Baby lifestyle has gained amazing momentum over the last 12 months as shown by the fact that 69% of the single mother respondents confirmed that they are living the Sugar Baby life for a year or less.

46% of single mother respondents have one child, while the rest are raising two or more children.

Particularly noteworthy is the fact that, besides the financial help that Sugar Daddy dating provides, this category of single mothers are also looking for emotional support:

– 57% of single mother Sugar Babies look forward to spending time with their Sugar Daddy as often as 3 to 5 times per week.
– An amazing 11% would be happy to see their Sugar Daddy 7 days a week.
– 65% would allow their Sugar Daddy to spend the night at least once a week.
– 7% of Sugar Babies would let their Sugar Daddy sleep over every night.

When it comes to mixing family life with the sugar one, 46% strongly believe that introducing their Sugar Daddy to their children is an option for when the sugar relationship is truly secure.

The fine line between family life and dating life is definitely blurring out just as the results depict an increasing number of single mothers who choose to be completely honest about their situation at home. Specifically, no less than 89% of the Sugar Babies currently dating say they are very open about their status as single mothers and have told their Sugar Daddies that they have children.

Results suggest that for these Sugar Baby single mothers, children and their welfare still come first within reasonable limits. Thus, 65% of them would keep on dating their Sugar Daddy even though their kids might express an obvious dislike toward him, but would make sure that they never meet.

Drawing on the results of the latest SugarDaddyForMe survey, the top 10 states with the largest numbers of single mothers who are looking to date a supportive Sugar Daddy are: 1-California, 2-Texas, 3-New York, 4-Florida, 5-Georgia, 6-Ohio, 7-Illinois, 8-North Carolina, 9-Pennsylvania, 10-Michigan.

“With the continued mass adoption of SaaS and the explosion of mobile, we have created a truly revolutionary system,” says founder and CEO Richard Minney. “While legacy software vendors drag their systems into the cloud, we were born in the cloud. With the globalization of business, downward pressures on IT budgets and the thirst for collaborative apps, there’s a real need to run your business in the cloud—right now.”
