Magic Software’s iBOLT™ business and process integration suite changes the face of SOA as we know it

Sometimes better described as a "methodology," SOA seeks to define reusable components or "services"—repeatable business tasks—that contain application logic that performs a specific business function such as "validate customer number" or "insert employee ID number." These services are defined in business terms, without regard to a specific application, operating system, programming language, or platform.

The greatest benefits realized by SOA are reusability, flexibility and agility. The other major benefit of SOA is productivity, which translates directly into cost savings. By managing changes to the business processes rather than maintaining the way these processes are addressed in dozens of individual applications, companies save significant expense over time. Each time a service is reused, cost savings accrue from not having to insert it into, or maintain it in, another application.

iBOLT™, Magic Software's business and process integration suite, is an integrated services environment that delivers a rich set of tools that support the SOA integration process and is seen by many as a best practice design solution that facilitates true SOA benefits.

iBOLT™ quickly and cost-effectively integrates various applications running on diverse databases, operating systems, and platforms. Featuring the largest range of certified optimized connectors and adaptors on the market, iBOLT™ can connect a wide selection of the world’s leading ERP, CRM, Accounting, Supply Chain, Enterprise Applications, Web and Wireless systems. iBOLT™ works natively with systems like SAP Business One, SAP Business All in One, SAP ERP R/3, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, IBM i applications and databases (AS/400), Lotus Notes applications, forms and databases, Health Care systems with HL7, EDI systems, and many more.

iBOLT™ features an unrivaled level of built-in connectivity and a world-class range of adaptive toolkits allowing you to integrate a whole variety of standards and databases including Web services, messaging, FTP and directories, .NET code, Java code, http, databases, data-mapping and more.

To date, iBOLT™ is the only business integration suite in the world to win SAP’s quality and innovation award for 3 consecutive years in a row.

iBOLT™ is code-free and benefits from over 25 years of business application development experience. With a quarter century of expertise, best technology practice and customer feedback packed into the iBOLT™ solution, the result is, the most comprehensive integration technology stack on the market today, featuring a graphical, wizards-based approach, guaranteeing you faster, more powerful and more cost-effective integration, whatever the business scenario.

Speed, or lack of it, is the number one reason why IT related projects fail today. iBOLT creates both simple and complex business processes by letting you drag, drop and configure your desired components, so you can focus on your business rather than working through pages of hard code. Once configured, your visual flow can be simply activated and deployed to achieve results between 5 and 10 times faster than other technologies. With iBOLT, you finish your IT integration project on time and on-budget.

In today’s markets, business goals, targets and rules are changing all the time. For integration to keep up you need a tool that’s agile and flexible to change, even in the most complex scenarios. Because its code free, iBOLT can create both simple and complex business processes easily – making it the ideal solution for both business managers and IT specialists alike. Business and technical teams can work together to clearly define and then quickly achieve their goals. With iBOLT integration is practical, usable and value for money, especially when changes are required fast.

“The Data Mapper interface provided a clear visual link between source and destination. The trigger mechanism allowed us to capture events from SAP Business One and perform flow tasks based on those actions, such as replicating data to multiple destinations and sending data to other systems. It also allowed us to send emails at various stages throughout the flow to notify key individuals of any events or problems that had occurred.” Daniel Abbatt, Solutions Architect at Anritsu EMEA

“Magic Software has allowed us to automate the flow of information between Salesforce.com and EquationTM and to do so in a way that leaves us free to adapt and grow our system for the future without the need for us to undertake complex programming tasks. At the same time it has helped us deliver our vision of single input and automated real time synchronization of data between multiple systems.” Sanjay Rajagopal, Programme Manager, Bank of Cyprus
