Woburn, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/01/2011 -- AuraPortal (http://www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, announced today that AUREN, a multi-disciplined consulting firm specialized not only in the Quality field, but also in IT and Systems Regulation, has designed for the Blanquerna Faculty of Health Sciences, which is part of Ramon Lull University, the Processes of the AUDIT University Quality Management System using the AuraPortal BPM Management Platform.

The implementation of this AUDIT quality system is one of the requirements of the Bologna Plan for university studies convergence in Europe.

In order to maximize the advantages of this system, which helps to minimize administrative bureaucracy, it was necessary to implement the AUDIT Quality Management system in the most efficient way and with the minimum cost. Therefore the Faculty of Health Sciences, Blanquerna, has chosen to design this quality management system with the Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) platform of AuraPortal.

According to Dr. Marius Duran Hortola, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences “In the initial stage of this project, we considered developing our own tool, since some of the applications presently active in the faculty have been developed by our in-house IT team. However the complexity of the project to be undertaken, and the technical features of AuraPortal, made us forgo the possibility of an in-house development effort. We took into account development cost and time, implementation cost and time, future enhancement development, and the ability to quickly, and cost effectively, introduce changes and improvements with the AuraPortal BPM tool, and the decision was made quickly.”
