OR-YEHUDA, Israel, July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq: MGIC), a provider of application platforms and business and process integration solutions, announces that it has signed a contract with AVL, the world's largest privately owned company for the development of powertrains. AVL selected Magic Software's iBOLT to integrate their Salesforce.com with SAP R/3 and Oracle systems.
AVL selected the iBOLT integration suite because of its ability to integrate their on-demand Salesforce.com CRM system with their on- premise SAP R/3 ERP and Oracle systems rapidly and more cost- effectively than other solutions. Up until now, this data exchange had to be performed manually. AVL was particularly impressed by the fact that iBOLT came with standard connectors for Salesforce.com and SAP R/3.
The iBOLT business and process integration suite enables organizations to synchronize data within diverse applications. It provides enhanced workflows, automation of manual processes, and a real-time view of business activity.
For AVL, iBOLT offered an open architecture that was practical and comprehensible, so that when AVL plans to implement future changes to their IT set-up, those changes can be made quietly and efficiently without the need to call in expert help.
iBOLT quickly and cost-effectively integrates a wide range of IT business applications including SAP Business One, SAP R/3, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, IBM i (AS/400), HL7 applications and Google Apps. The iBOLT business integration suite is the winner of SAP Awards for three consecutive years, including the Global Innovation Partner Award for 2008.
