With AuraPortal BPM technology, the Immediate Reception Unit for Electoral Transparency (URIEL)
automates the management and tracking of complaints and allegations of irregularities in the Colombian
2014 electoral process.
Woburn, MA, March 19, 2013 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal.
Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced that the AuraPortal BPM
application has been officially purchased by the Colombian Ministry of the Interior to automate the
URIEL Process, which manages possible irregularities linked to the electoral process.
AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its
Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.
In just two months, a team of specialized consultants from AuraPortal Partner companies BPM
Latinoamerica and Management & Quality Ltda., designed, configured and implemented this
process, which enables Colombian citizens to report irregularities observed in the Colombian 2014
elections.
Alvaro Canal, AuraPortal Business Developer for the Andean region and Panama, comments,
"Manually handling an unpredictable volume of complaints and allegations in a country with more
than 30 million voters, and responding in short periods of time as is required by law, can be a
very costly task. With AuraPortal BPM it will be immediate, precise and controlled, with a notable
reduction in paperwork and minimal staff."
Here are just a few of the many benefits the Ministry has achieved from implementing AuraPortal
BPM technology:
• Information management using Dynamic Forms.
