Leading Independent Research Firm Lists Magic Software as a Leading Integration-centric BPM Provider

Or Yehuda, Israel (November 03, 2005) - Magic Software Enterprises (NASDAQ: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art development and integration technology announced today that Forrester Research Inc. has included Magic Software as a leading integration-centric BPM Provider in its recent ‘Trends 2006 report’.

In the Trends 2006 report entitled: “Integration-Centric Business Process Management” issued October 24th, 2005, by Ken Vollmer, Forrester highlights that Magic Software “provides comprehensive, integration-centric BPM solutions that focus primarily on the interactions between workers and their business applications.”

Magic Software’s iBOLT is designed as a comprehensive, cost-effective and straightforward Business Process Integration framework. iBOLT seeks to rationalize competing standards and proprietary formats while quickly creating and dynamically deploying new business processes, services, and applications. Its innovative visual design tools, Data Mapper and integration wizards are positioned to assure enterprises of fast, successful, end-to-end business integration.

 

According to Avigdor Luttinger, VP Marketing and Corporate Strategy at Magic Software, “this assessment of 2006 trends by Forrester’s leading analyst further confirms Magic’s strategic direction - the market requirements for a new applications development technology that would be more efficient than the classical IDE approach – and that Magic is especially well-suited to this task.”
