Notes for Editors

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 also makes it more cost-efficient to assimilate and integrate future IT application acquisitions.

iBOLT works natively with systems such as SAP Business One, SAP Business All in One, SAP R/3, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, IBM i applications and databases (AS/400), Lotus Notes applications, forms and databases, Health Care systems using HL7, EDI systems, and many more.

The iBOLT business and process integration suite has won SAP's quality and innovation awards for three consecutive years in a row, from 2006 to 2008.
