Online Commerce A Necessary Challenge

Internet offers enormous opportunities, but survival in this market is not easy. It does not simply involve the creation of an attractive website with a shopping cart, it requires much more.

Woburn, MA, November 29, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal Business Process Management (BPM) software, has published a study entitled "The market is on the Internet" which analyses the profound changes in the preferences and buying habits of a now generally globalized market and the problems faced by the majority of companies, in any sector (not only the ones involved in online sales), whose Promotions, Sales and After-sales services are affected by the new trends demanded by the current market.

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

Convenience, price and time savings accelerate the growth of eCommerce, however most companies have not yet realized the extent of the change in mentality, focus and the technologies necessary to adapt the way companies are managed in this new market.

In an emerging market, with a small investment, some small (or even tiny) companies have achieved successful sales thanks to the Internet, but a global market not only means many buyers but also many vendors which makes it more difficult than the traditional market.

Most companies must adapt their strategies to the characteristics of the new activities; furthermore, they must have the correct tools to optimize their management.

AuraPortal is the leading Business Process Management (BPM ) software with a perfectly integrated eCommerce system. It is characterized by its ease in handling and purchasing operations. The total integration of online ordering with delivery of products offers an extraordinary advantage, given that it allows unprecedented automation of sales operations. It is not a case of completed eCommerce actions providing data for a database but the conversion of this data into information flowing through processes.

Through AuraPortal Cloud, this solution is accessible to any economy.

AuraPortal Improves the Efficiency of Horticultural Companies Thanks to BPM

Frutas Bean uses AuraPortal Mobile BPM software (for mobile devices) to solve the location issues of their employees and to improve the quality control of their products.

Woburn, MA, November 29, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that, the ease of integration of its AuraPortal BPM suite with other platforms and devices, has enabled the consultancy firm ACBP to provide "in situ" solutions for the fruit sector based on apps for mobile devices integrated with AuraPortal processes, thus making it possible to work on/off line.

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

Companies involved in working in the countryside, like Frutas Bean, have a very specific problem which is directly linked to the fact that the majority of employees work in different locations every day and, in many cases, have poor internet access.

This created problems such as the use of information on paper (work reports, phytosanitary treatments…) and the lack of performance control of certain activities.

Frutas Bean now benefits from completely up to date information, at any moment, on work done in the field and uses this information to make informed decisions related to work optimization and cost control.

About Frutas Bean
Frutas Bean is a company located in the Bajo Cinca Region and specializes in the cultivation and commercialization of fresh fruit. It is currently one of the main exporters in the area and employs over 400 workers during periods of maximum production. Frutas Bean continually invests in processes to improve the quality of their products with view to exploring new markets, especially in Northern and Eastern Europe.

RSA Group in the Running for WfMC Award for Excellence Thanks to AuraPortal

Co-sponsored by WfMC and BPM.com and now in their 20th year, the prestigious Global Awards for Excellence in BPM & Workflow recognize organizations that have demonstrably excelled in implementing innovative business process solutions.

The implementation of RSA's main process, the Insurance Policy Quotes and Reserves Process, which is currently running at full capacity, required the use of high performance technologies such as DAD (Dynamically Activated Divisions), Distributed Treatments, Integrated Tasks, etc., providing the process with extraordinary capabilities that would not have been possible with other BPM Suites in the market, even with extensive additional programming.

And more importantly still, no programming is necessary when making modifications throughout the useful life of the process.

Find out the ROI of a BPM Project Before Beginning the Implementation

The scope, the methodology and the tools to be implemented largely determine the ROI of a Business Process Management implementation project in a company, and are the main causes of success and also of most failures.

Woburn, MA, October 12, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that its investigation team has undertaken an extensive study of the factors that determine ROI (Return on Investment) in a BPM implementation project. The results of this study will be showcased in an upcoming webinar which will be announced in the near future, and will minimize the investment risks in companies interested in adopting Business Process Management.

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

Implementing BPM in an organization represents a substantial change in the way to manage and understand the way of working in a company, and it is not without risk. However, the correct implementation of a BPM suite unquestionably improves the entire organization, exposing weaknesses and strengthening activities. As analysts have confirmed, it makes the organization more efficient, more effective and more competitive.

This study, performed by AuraPortal, has calculated the Return on Investment of the methodology to be used and the tools to be implemented in a BPM project. It has taken into consideration not only the basic factors of ROI (such as the benefits obtained and the investment to be made), but also two other factors that are very important in this type of project, the risks and the flexibility.

AuraPortal BPM Presents Real Simulation in its Business Process Modeling

Powerful technology allows any company to know during the design phase how its processes will act in execution, quickly detecting and solving any issues.

Woburn, MA, August 06, 2014 - AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal.(*) Business Process Management (BPM) software, has enhanced the real simulation in its BPM suite's process modeling tool, making it immediately available to not only the designers of the processes, but also to managers and business analysts, who can easily perform simulations on running processes in a real working environment.

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

Business Process Management tools generally offer as an additional mechanism the possibility to perform 'simulations', i.e., to execute the processes virtually in imaginary scenarios in order to understand and quantify any circumstances that affect their execution. These simulations should reveal bottlenecks, overloads, unequal distribution of workloads, excessive times, etc.

There are two non-exclusive ways to conduct simulations:
- Statistical Simulation, this is the most common but also the less reliable.
- Real Simulation, much more reliable. The BPM tool allows instant modifications to be made to the design of the processes and these modifications can be executed immediately, with no need for programming, both in real and imaginary environments.

This characteristic, which is generally unavailable in other BPM tools, forms part of AuraPortal.

BPM suites typically require the intervention, in varying degrees, of programmers or technical experts to incorporate modifications in the design of the processes, which makes it impossible to carry out tests of each modification on the fly.

With Real Simulation, the results obtained are a true reflection of what will actually happen when the process is executed in a real production environment, and everything can be tested in advance, safely and with maximum accuracy. This Simulation gives 100% assurance that what has been modeled is exactly what will be executed.
