Project Background

The first automated process was that of Goods Purchase and Services Hiring, from which the operations with their more than 1.000 suppliers are controlled.

The Engineer Luis Javier Mosquera Quijano, MBA, Administrative and Financial Vice-rector of the Colombian Engineering School, explains the project approach:

"After evaluating 8 suppliers we opted for the AuraPortal BPMS because, being one of the most important in the market and used by big multinational companies, it was the only one that allowed us to start the project a record time".
