iBOLT Integration Suite Receives Compliance Confirmation In Mapping To Giga Group’s Application Integration Framework (AIF) Model
Magic Software Highlighted As Leading Vendor of Business Process Management (BPM) Functionality
Paris, France (September 10, 2003) - Magic Software Enterprises (NASDAQ: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art development and integration technology, announced today that its iBOLT Integration Suite has received confirmation of compliance within Giga Group’s Application Integration Framework (AIF) model.
In a presentation yesterday in front of several hundred top IT professionals, leading Giga analyst Henry Peyret presented Magic’s iBOLT as compared to the AIF model. In his presentation, titled “Integration Solutions: Trends and Recommendations,” Peyret noted that iBOLT complies with the AIF model in providing functions in data transformation, connectivity and business process management. In addition, iBOLT provides security, operation and management functions or integration capabilities with existing security and management systems.
Peyret noted, “We can position Magic’s iBOLT and eDeveloper technology as a long term technological investment as an “application, presentation and process integration platform” as defined in a recent Giga research publication. The target audience will be medium sized companies as well as larger enterprises that have a mix of J2EE, .Net and mainframe (iSeries for example) applications and are looking to begin their integration efforts with a small initial investment.”
Henry Peyret’s research focuses on the concepts, techniques and tools required to design flexible and responsive IS architectures. This includes Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), middleware, interfaces, business process optimization and security issues.
“We are very happy to receive this recognition from one of the industry’s leading analyst groups,” said Menachem Hasfari, chief executive officer of Magic Software. “In the short time since we have launched the iBOLT Integration Suite to market, we have received excellent reviews of the product from both customers and industry experts. We will continue our intensive efforts to provide our customers with leading technology for cost-efficient business integration and process management.”
