General Information on AuraPortal Cloud FIRST: Some Interesting Aspects to Remember
ONE. AuraPortal is a BPMS or Business Process Management Suite
designed to control all operations of enterprises and organizations. It is a
perfect engine to drive the business in economic cycles of bonanza, but,
more important, it becomes indispensable in times of crisis or weak
economic environments, not just to ensure survival but also for, taking
advantage of the difficulties of the situation, stand out over competitors.
TWO. The processes in AuraPortal are designed and executed easily, quickly
and safely by business people without any technical preparation since no
additional programming is required whatsoever to build up ready-to-run
process, no matter how complex they may be. Such an important and
outstanding feature is and has always been an exclusive and distinguishing
offer of AuraPortal and, although other BPM vendors also claim to offer
their ‘no programming feature’, they are far from reaching the ‘true’
liberation from programming, as AuraPortal verifiably exhibits.
The hugely valuable consequence of this feature is the very significant
savings in time and costs related to the consulting work attached to
processes design and execution.
THREE. AuraPortal is consistently ranked as one of the best –if not the best-
Business Process Management software in the world by the most
prestigious software analysts firms. Find the evidences in Appendix A.
FOUR. The cost of AuraPortal is more reasonable in comparison with other
products of similar power. But also, as mentioned above, the consulting
costs inherent to the development of processes are much lower, perhaps a
70% lower, and the processes are ready to work much sooner.
FIVE. If you are not aware of the meaning and scope of the so called BPMS
software, please visit Appendix B at the end of this document.

AuraPortal: The Most Advanced Enterprise Software AuraPortal is a platform that offers easy design and execution of ALL operating processes -no matter
how complex they may be-, without any additional programming requirements. It provides solutions
for enterprises and organizations of any size; from corporations with millions of processes and/or users
right through to small business.
AuraPortal can automatically control the operations of any organization from beginning to end, or just
specific organizational areas. The kernel of AuraPortal is its Core BPM which contains three resident
modules: 'Processes', 'Intranet/Extranet' and 'Document Management'. There are also four Optional
Modules that may be purchased separately to enhance the application's scope, namely, 'Business
Rules', 'WIP (Wide Interaction Platform)', 'Content Management' and 'Online Commerce'. The structure
of AuraPortal products is represented in the following image.
Core BPM
Core BPM is the kernel of AuraPortal. It contains three resident modules:
The first, Processes, controls the BPM (Business Process Management).
The second, Intranet / Extranet, manages the communication between employees, and also
between customers, suppliers and other external agents, via an extremely powerful workflow
system.
The third, Document Management, manages all the entity’s documents (texts, images,
videos, etc.), in a fully integrated and global manner. This document handling can be
conducted concurrently with two systems: Microsoft SharePoint which is incorporated in the
application, and AuraPortal File System which is a system designed by AuraPortal and the
most recommended option, especially if better performance with large volumes (millions) of
documents is required.

Optional Modules
The Optional Modules are extremely powerful, their main interest being the synergy they
generate with the BPM processes.
The presence of these modules linked to its outstanding and unique BPM process system, converts
AuraPortal into the widest and most powerful software platform for controlling the organization's
operations no matter their kind and complexity.
Business Rules
AuraPortal has an innovative approach to genuine Business Rules, much simpler to manage,
however more powerful than anything ever seen before. This module houses all the company
regulations and procedures, as well as process-related information which can then be seamlessly
integrated into the running processes without losing their independence.
Following the most advanced standard trend, the AuraPortal Business Rules are "declarative" meaning
that they do not "act". Instead, they are kept separate from the processes and are invoked by the
process engines only when they are required.
In that moment, the rules are independently calculated and their results are served to the process
engine.
This is the factor that gives them their extraordinary 'on the fly' power of performance and
modification, because, although they do not dwell in the processes domain, they are always ready to
serve the required information to them without being affected in the slightest.
There are four types of Business Rules according to the way they make the operations and supply the
results: Textual, Assignment, Calculation and Inference.
Textual Assignment Calculation Inference
WIP (Wide Interaction Platform)
The WIP (Wide Interaction Platform) module is a platform exclusive to AuraPortal that offers the
possibility of any person outside the organization to participate in its processes as required.
Any external person may be a performer of tasks within the organization's processes once he becomes
a Guest User. This is achieved when the visitor asks for being registered by filling in the corresponding
form from the organization's website and his request is approved.
The Guest User has access to a private area created for his exclusive use. From there he can start
processes to make inquiries, initiate cases, receive notifications, place purchase orders, check the status
of manufacturing orders and deliveries, receive and perform process tasks, view emails and modify
any registration data.

Content Management
The Content Management module of AuraPortal allows the publishing of Announcements, News,
Articles, Videos, Documents of any kind and, in general, any content in digital format.
The module is seamlessly integrated with the BPM, so that any company can create its own digital
information to gain a complete and tailor-made content management without having to recruit a
specialist.
One important application of the Content Management module is the construction of websites, no
matter its complexity.
AuraPortal has taken into account the integration with internet search engines (e.g. Google) and has
included an automatic Sitemap creation system, which indexes all the desired words in the internal
indexes of these search engines to allow rapid location by internet users.
Online Commerce
The Online Commerce module allows the automatic creation and administration of Internet
storefronts for the sale of company products and services.
AuraPortal is the first BPM software to include a seamlessly integrated e-Commerce system, which is
characterized by its ease of use and its purchasing operations.
The total integration of online orders with the product Supply Chain poses an extraordinary
breakthrough, as it enables unprecedented automation of all sales operations. Any e-Commerce
actions performed will not just become data added to a database, they will be converted into
information flowing through the processes.
The module includes: Content Management, Shopping Cart and Payment Gateway.
The Online Commerce environment can be handled entirely by company employees and does not
require any technical resources, which is highly beneficial to the company as it provides a great deal of
agility and flexibility, significantly reducing the "time to market". The pages made with this module can
be simple or very complex.
Users
There are three types of users capable of participating in the BPMS processes:
Employees, External Users and Guest Users.
Employees and the External Users need individual licenses, either Named or
Concurrent. However, Guest users are included in the Wide Interaction Platform
Module (WIP) and, therefore, do not need individual licenses as their number is
unlimited.
General Information about AuraPortal Cloud
www.auraportal.com Page | 5
Employees
An Employee User has the broadest scope of performance. He enters the system through the
Employees Portal (Intranet) from where he can start processes, work with process tasks and free tasks
and also have access to all resources of the application like families of Documents, Accounts, Items,
Projects, Areas, Processes, etc. He may also design Processes if permission is granted. Employees are
registered in the Organization Chart of the company which is the tree of the family of employees.
External Users
The External User is intended for lodging Distributors, Customers, Suppliers, etc. that have a high
degree of interaction with the enterprise. The External User enters AuraPortal through one of the
External Portals (Extranet) freely designed by the enterprise according to the class of organization that
the user belongs to. The External User is allowed to initiate processes and be the performer of process
tasks, although his capabilities are limited in comparison with the Employee User. This type of user is
intended for lodging Agents, Distributors, Customers, Suppliers, etc. that have a high degree of
interaction with the enterprise.
Guest Users
The Guest User communicates with the enterprise using the WIP (Wide Interaction Platform) that is a
working environment accessed, for example, through the corporate website. They can start and
execute certain processes, carry out queries, etc. They may also receive Emails with links to forms
belonging to prepared processes. The possibilities are restricted compared to External Users and
Employees, so it is a type of user thought for lodging possible customers, and distributors, and other
agents whose relation with the company is not so intense.
Licensing
Corporate Licensing
Includes unlimited Employees and External Users. If the WIP (Wide Interaction Platform) module is
present, it also allows an unlimited number of Guest Users.
Licensing By User
This mode makes a distinction between Employees Users and External Users and allows two kinds of
license that can co-exist:
Named Licenses. Each license must be used by only one user who accesses the application by
identifying himself with a login and a password. The user always has exclusive access and
availability.
General Information about AuraPortal Cloud
www.auraportal.com Page | 6
Concurrent Licenses. There is no limit to the number of users who can access and use the
application. However, the number of users that can be connected simultaneously is limited by
the number of concurrent licenses purchased.
Note: Both licensing modes (Named and Concurrent) can cohabit
both in Employees as well as in External Users. Also, it is possible to
request a decrease of the number of existing Named Licenses and an
increase in Concurrent Licenses or vice versa, and also it is possible to
substitute existing Modules for new different ones. In these cases the
cost adjustments of increase and/or decrease will be carried out
taking into account the variations of Licenses and the variations of
Modules and only the global differential cost will be charged for these
adjustments. In the case that the result should be negative this does
not generate the right to a refund, but however, the maintenance fee
for the future years can be reduced in accordance with the new
situation.

About AuraPortal Cloud
The name 'Cloud Computing' signifies that software application users may access multiple sites via
Internet where data centers containing the infrastructure, hardware, middleware and software that can
be of their interest dwell, and are safely operating and permanently ready to provide the requested
application on demand.
In the same way as an electricity user simply plugs in the cable to obtain the electric service without
bothering whatsoever about the cost and knowledge required to build and manage power plants and
a distribution grids, a user of computing applications in the ‘Cloud’ obtains the required service by just
‘plugging in’ the Internet browser that can be a PC, a Tablet or a Smartphone, at his convenience
without bothering about hardware or software requirements.
In Cloud Computing there are three different service levels:
SaaS (Software as a Service)
The SaaS Cloud Provider furnishes software applications from the Cloud, ready to be used with
high performance and reliability. Also includes the maintenance of the applications served, with
its updates.
PaaS (Platform as a Service)
It is a development platform offered by the Cloud Provider where the customers may develop
their own software applications.
General Information about AuraPortal Cloud
www.auraportal.com Page | 8
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
In this level the Cloud Provider facilitates the use of all hardware and operating systems that the
software applications may require in order to work. It includes air-cooled and disaster-proof
buildings for lodging the whole system plus guaranteed high-performance, wide-band
connections to Internet and all the required maintenance.
This service level allows customers to situate their software applications and operating systems in
the Cloud Provider’s data center but it does not provide the maintenance of the application
software.
The 'pure' user of a software application needs the SaaS level for accessing the software and the IaaS
level as the hardware structure where the software dwells, but he does not need the PaaS level.
Whatever the service level, in Cloud Computing the customer does not need to invest in hardware or
software. The Cloud Providers take care of all required investments.
The ideal providers of IaaS should be a recognized corporation with
large resources to ensure a service based on the best hardware in
totally safe locations.
On the other hand, the ideal SaaS provider is a highly respected
software vendor that offers their final products from a totally reliable
IaaS provider.
AuraPortal Cloud is the perfect approach for Cloud Computing. Its structure, called AuraPortal Cloud
is as follows:
Type of Cloud = Private to achieve the maximum data privacy protection. Each customer has
dedicated servers where no other customers have access nor share any data.
SaaS Provider = AURA. (AuraPortal)
IaaS Provider = Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure plus AURA.
With this structure, the user enjoys the best BPM software (AuraPortal) from the fastest
and safest hardware without any concern on investments or maintenance, at a
very reasonable pay-per-use fee!
All maintenance work, including updates and new versions of the SaaS, and the
maintenance of the basic operating systems, data storage, etc. of the IaaS, will
be carried out by AURA.

Important Advantages of AuraPortal Cloud versus Acquisition
The most obvious advantages of subscribing an AuraPortal Cloud contract versus opting for acquiring
the hardware, infrastructure and software in an owned data center, are the following:
Elimination of Incidents and Operating Problems. More than 90% of all incidences and
operating problems that arise when the application is installed in the customer data
center are derived from a bad initial software installation or configuration or bad handling
of the basic operating system (like altering the databases by unauthorized persons). These
perils disappear because in AuraPortal Cloud, those tasks are performed by experts from
AURA.
Elimination of Perils and Inconveniences. AuraPortal Cloud users get rid of all the
inconveniences and risks related to having their own data centers, including servers,
firewalls, switches, air-cooled facilities, uninterrupted electrical supply, secure and speedy
Internet connectivity, etc. as well as their related maintenance efforts.
Saving Personnel costs. The need of personnel taking care of the above responsibilities
in an owned data center is completely eliminated in AuraPortal Cloud.
Secure Data Integrity and Privacy. Data integrity and privacy are better guaranteed in
AuraPortal Cloud in comparison with an owned data center.
Zero Capital Expenditure. No customer capital expenditure is required because there is
not any investment in AuraPortal Cloud. The user only pays a small fee for the use of SaaS
and IaaS.
No Commitment, No Risk. The user may discontinue at any moment the AuraPortal
Cloud services without having to pay further compensation. The payments are only due
while the service is used.
Significant Cost Savings. Financially, the cost of the fees paid, not only at the beginning
but also throughout the years, is advantageous in comparison with the required
investment for acquiring the system and the corresponding maintenance spending.
Scalability. The future growth of customer requirements is granted in a seamless way.
Optimum Performance. The IaaS and the SaaS are customized to give the maximum
operating performance.
Maintenance. The whole system, SaaS and IaaS is permanently maintained to ensure a
smooth and comfortable continuous operation
Technical Support. AURA has an efficient support service to attend all necessities of
customer.

Any one of the above advantages is enough to prefer Cloud Computing
instead of "On Premise"‟ (Acquisition). But if you consider the whole set, the
decision should be evident.
AURA also offers the possibility to change at any moment, if so desired,
from Cloud Mode to On-Premises Mode, meaning that you may choose to
bring the hardware and software facilities at your own data center. And
also the reverse: If you are an AuraPortal customer working 'on premises'
and decide to switch to AuraPortal Cloud after analyzing the advantages
mentioned above you may do it at a very low cost (because you have
already paid for the software).

Appendix B - What is BPMS?
Acronym
BPMS stands for "Business Process Management Suite" or
"Business Process Management System" and is, by all concepts,
the already consolidated and unstoppable trend that is changing
forever the way to manage the operations of enterprises and
organizations in the world, making them much more flexible,
much more automated and much more powerful.
Definition
BPMS can be defined as:
"A new category of enterprise software that enables companies to model, deploy and manage sets of
inter-related activities - that is to say, Processes- of any kind, either within departments or permeating
the whole enterprise with extensions to include the participation of customers, suppliers and other
agents as performers of process tasks".
Scope
With a top-graded BPMS tool like AuraPortal, the company can automate in a very easy way any
process including those of Human Resources, Quality Control, Purchase and Procurement, Customer
Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management, Risk Management, Sales, Invoicing and
any kind of company-specific processes.
Benefits
Companies that implement a BPM system improve their organization in all respects; weaknesses are
highlighted and the most relevant activities are strengthened. In essence, it enables companies to be
more: Flexible, Competitive and Efficient.
Competitive and Economical Advantages
The huge competitive advantage that working with BPMS signifies is such that a rapidly increasing
number of enterprises and organizations are adopting BPMS tools in order not to lose their
competitiveness in front of other companies that are already working with it. This is due to the fact
that, aside from the superior potency and operational flexibility contributed by BPMS, the enterprise
overall cost are reduced in the range of 20% to 50% and the Return Of Investment (ROI) may reach a
value as high as 400%.
Integration
Although the processes deployed in BPMS may work in comfortable integration with existing
enterprise software like ERP and CRM, it is likely that companies will gradually model, using the BPMS,
General Information about AuraPortal Cloud
www.auraportal.com Page | 20
the activities of their ERP and CRM, in order to substitute those applications by the modeled
processes, obtaining better automation, flexibility, solidity and power, aside from a global unification
of the enterprise operations.
Three Steps in BPMS
The procedure to work with processes is accomplished thru three fundamental steps:
Draw a process model diagram.
Define values of parameters like the names or roles of task performers, etc.
Put the process into execution immediately without waiting for any programming addition
(assuming you are working with AuraPortal).
A REVOLUTION! Enterprise BPMS Technology is revolutionary, reducing
costs and increasing revenues. It is foreseeable that in
the mid-term ALL modern enterprises and organizations of
any size in the world will have and use BPMS for managing
the majority of their activities. According to practically all
analysts, the emergence of BPMS is perhaps the most
revolutionary trend experienced by the enterprise
management software, comparable, within its domain, to
that of the Internet appearance.
