OR-YEHUDA, Israel, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq: MGIC), a global provider of cloud and on-premise enabled application platform and business integration solutions, today announced a large, multi-year project to upgrade and maintain the application platform and integration suite of the Israel Military Police, a part of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).

Once implemented, both systems will provide the Military Police with real-time status reporting and a full picture of nation-wide operations at any given snapshot, for hundreds of system users."

Notes for Editors

uniPaaS is an application platform enabling Enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to deliver business applications with minimal project risk and associated costs.

uniPaaS is the first application platform combining agile development and a single paradigm for multiple deployment channels. uniPaaS enables enterprises and software vendors to build client/server applications and rich internet applications (RIA) targeting the latest technologies including Cloud computing, mobile devices and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings.

The freedom of choice offered by uniPaaS enables businesses to launch confidently into the Cloud without sacrificing current on-premise application models or mission-critical databases.

iBOLT is a code-free business and process integration suite. The product integrates solutions such as SAP Business One, SAP ERP, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, IBM System i applications and databases (AS/400), Lotus Notes applications, healthcare systems using HL7, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft SharePoint, and others.

iBOLT's code-free approach is facilitated by a pre-compiled and pre-configured coding engine based upon Magic Software's 25 years of application development experience. This enables both simple and complex business processes to be designed and implemented quickly and easily – and also makes it more cost-efficient to assimilate and integrate future IT application acquisitions.

iBOLT versions 2.5 and 3 have been certified by SAP. Magic Software is also the recipient of the "2005 Solution Partner Leadership in Innovation" award, the "2006 ISV Partner Quality Excellence Award" from SAP America and the "2008 Global Solution Partner Award" from SAP AG. iBOLT version 3 is a Salesforce.com AppExchange certified product and Magic Software is a Salesforce.com AppExchange partner with customers in multiple industry verticals worldwide.
