Certis Information Services, Inc. and AuraPortal to jointly provide BPM and Information Management solutions and services to the Oil and Gas Industry

WOBURN, Mass., Sept. 30, 2010 — AuraPortal (http://www.auraportal.com), a global provider of a Business Process Management (BPM) suite, announced a strategic partnership with Certis Information Services, Inc. to sell and support the AuraPortal BPMS solution in the U.S. Certis provides business process improvement and information management solutions to Oil and Gas Exploration and Production companies. The partnership will allow Certis to deliver Business Process Management tools and services as an extension of the current IT data and consulting services they provide. With the agreement, Certis will be able to distribute and provide services surrounding the AuraPortal Business Process Management Software (BPMS) to organizations looking to improve their efficiency and operational discipline.

AuraPortal is best known for its innovative features such as the automatic building of Process Execution Engines directly from the modeling diagram without the need of IT programming. As a result, AuraPortal enables organizations to rapidly build and deploy business process improvement solutions faster than traditional, custom coding methods. The people closest to the processes are empowered to easily develop, manage, and control entire business processes without the need of custom programming.

"As an organization, we pride ourselves in remaining neutral when it comes to vendor solutions, and historically our customers don't always need to buy extra software to accomplish their goals. However, there are cases where a BPMS toolset can be helpful to a client when their business rules and processes are fluid and dynamic. We're excited about the potential AuraPortal's toolset provides us in enhancing our ability to deliver customized solutions more rapidly and more cost effectively for our customers," according to Fatima Alsubhi, President of Certis. "The AuraPortal platform is very flexible and easy to use, and we have seen that it can readily handle the typical complexities our customers have from a business process execution point of view."

"We're delighted to have Certis as a new partner in the U.S.," said Pablo Trilles, Vice President, AuraPortal. "Certis is well-respected in their market and they clearly understand the in-depth business process requirements of the Oil and Gas Industry. We look to our partners, like Certis, who have years of experience in a given vertical market and are able to adapt the AuraPortal solution to the specific requirements of their market focus, typically giving them the added competitive advantage of accelerating their time to delivery, and improving the turnaround time for business process changes and enhancements."
