DAD Technology. Optimizing Work in BPM

DAD (Dynamically Activated Divisions) Technology, recognized by the analyst firm Gartner Inc. as an innovative functionality, is used to create user-friendly Dynamic Forms

Woburn, MA, March 07, 2013 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal. Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that the latest developments in DAD Technology that have been incorporated exclusively in AuraPortal BPM clearly differentiate it from other BPMs, creating a fluency in its use unheard of until now.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

In short, the idea of DAD Technology is that anyone performing a task within a process will find that, on opening it, the information will appear in a timely fashion depending on the direction the task itself takes and the circumstances or options that are progressively chosen. This functionality enables maximum effectiveness and an extraordinary saving in execution time.

Manel Orovio, Technical Director at AuraPortal, comments:

“A common problem for those who work with BPM Suites is the fact that the forms often contain hundreds of fields to cover all of the possible scenarios that may occur throughout the task execution, although, depending on various circumstances, the performer of the task may only need to see or act on a few of them. If the user has to look at hundreds of fields that they are not going to use it can make their work cumbersome, and can also lead to multiple execution errors.

With DAD Technology, as the performer executes the task, the system makes the elements appear in the form automatically as and when needed. This greatly simplifies work.

The person responsible for designing the Task form should make it as user friendly as possible, so that on opening it, the user will find a form that contains all the data and documents necessary for them to carry out their work without having to leave the Task. Thus maximum effectiveness is achieved.”

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, Global BPM Software Vendor, Opens a New Regional Office in Santiago, Chile, to Support its Partner Network and Customers in the Competitive Chilean Market

This new Head Office joins AURA’s existing offices in America (USA, Brazil and the Andean Region – Colombia), Europe (Holland, Spain and Romania), the Middle East / Africa (Angola) and the Asia / Pacific region (China and India).

Boca Raton, Florida, October 05, 2012 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) Software, has announced the opening of a new head office in Santiago, Chile, from where it will operate in tight coordination with its Partner network.

Chile is the most competitive economy in Latin America and the Caribbean, leading this year’s economic growth among OECD countries. In the first quarter of 2012 Chile recorded a 5.6% economic growth.

AuraPortal (*) already has a strong presence in Chile thanks to its exclusive network of Partners and several prestigious customers, including the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism (MINECON), FOSIS (Ministry of Social Development), Enap Refineries, Nexus, RSA Insurance and SGS CIMM T&S. This new office will provide high-quality service to these Partners and Customers, while enhancing AuraPortal’s market visibility.

(*) The AuraPortal Process Management Platform has recently been distinguished by the independent market analyst firm Ovum in its Decision Matrix 2011 report as the most advanced BPM in the market.

According to Nelson Berríos, AURA’s Representative in Chile,”Business Process Management is already widespread in most companies, but poorly controlled due to a lack of truly effective tools. The reality is that almost all BPM tools in the market imply an excessively complex and costly implementation or they lack scalability, greatly limiting the benefits obtained. However, AuraPortal, thanks to its exclusive and innovative system known as Generatrix, offers a user-friendly system which uses checkboxes and drop-down menus to create any type of process, even the most complex, with no need whatsoever for any programming. This not only reduces the work by as much as 50%, but also helps and guides the Analyst to easily create and model any Business Process”.
