All JDE Alliance members are also part of the Oracle Partner Network and the Quest International Users Group. Magic offers solutions for JD Edwards Enterprise One, as well as Oracle Validated Integration for JD Edwards World.

Regev Yativ, President and CEO of Magic Software Enterprises Americas, said: "We are pleased to be able to leverage the strength of the JDE Alliance in our customer education and Sales & Marketing efforts. Our integration platform and other offerings give JDE Alliance customers a great opportunity to enhance and extend their JDE ERP systems through connections to third-party solutions, such as Microsoft SharePoint, PLM, and eCommerce systems. We are pleased to be able to introduce the capabilities of JDE Alliance members-Arctools, Image Integration Systems, InsightSoftware.com, Q Software, RF-SMART and Velocity Technology Solutions-to JDE customers alongside our integration platform.
