AuraPortal to Sponsor an Educational Webinar Featuring Paul Harmon on the BPMS Lifecycle

BP Trends to host a free webinar on the BPMS Lifecycle Featuring Paul Harmon on May 5th at 10:00AM EST

Woburn (Boston), MA, April 26, 2011 - AuraPortal (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software, today announced it will be sponsoring an educational webinar on May 5th, 2011 at 10:00am EST featuring Paul Harmon, Executive Editor of BPTrends, discussing the history and development of BPMS tools to support business managers.

According to Mr. Harmon, "Too many BPM software projects have, in practice, simply been software development projects. When Smith and Fingar wrote their book, Business Process Management, The Third Wave, which launched the development of this generation of software tools, they were focused on the possibility that BPMS tools could support business managers in the day to day management of their processes. Tools that do this must support ease of modeling; the rapid analysis of problems, the monitoring of processes during execution and that ability to make changes to the processes quickly and easily".

Mr. Harmon will chronicle the evolution of BPMS tools, discuss the features required by business managers, and the functionality of today's BPMS tools. The webinar will also address how AuraPortal BPMS tool provides the features necessary to support business managers. To register for this free webinar go to: http://tinyurl.com/3gexmlm.
