PRESS RELEASE
Magic Software to Partner with Astadia
Collaboration combines Magic Software’s iBOLT business integration platform with
Astadia’s business consulting to deliver success for salesforce.com customers worldwide
Or Yehuda, Israel, December 8, 2009 -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a provider of application platforms and business and process integration solutions, today announced that its UK subsidiary, Magic Software Enterprises (UK) Ltd., is collaborating with Astadia, a global leader in technology enabled business consulting and a leading salesforce.com partner.
Astadia will incorporate Magic Software’s iBOLT business integration suite into their solutions portfolio. Magic Software will also extend its integration offering to Astadia’s customers.
David Woodhead, Astadia, EMEA General Manager, explains: “iBOLT is a fast and simple way to integrate Salesforce CRM into an enterprise environment. Since the solution is intuitive, wizard-based, and code-free, Astadia can spend more time delivering value to clients with improved business processes.”
“We are extremely pleased to work with Astadia,” said David Akka, Magic Software’s Managing Director for the UK, Eire & Nordics. “Astadia is one of the leading salesforce.com implementation partners, so by working together we can improve the entire experience for customers, helping them to rapidly and easily integrate their Salesforce CRM deployment with their existing on-premise and on-demand applications. Our first joint project has already been signed, and we have already begun work on a number of other ones.”
Both Magic Software UK and Astadia participate in the Salesforce.com Foundation’s "Power of Us" Partner Program, which enables organizations to donate time, equity and products to non-profits that need their expertise.

About iBOLT
iBOLT is a code-free business and process integration suite enabling organizations to synchronize the data between diverse applications. It contains a comprehensive library of adapters, wizards, services and methods, based upon 25 years of Magic Software’s development experience. It allows users to create both simple and complex business processes by dragging, dropping and configuring desired components rather than working through pages of hard code.
iBOLT enhances business workflows, automates manual processes and provides decision makers with a real-time view of their business activity.
iBOLT integrates and synchronizes Salesforce CRM data with other on-demand and on-premise applications in the enterprise. It enables organizations to view an accurate and real-time picture of their corporate information and eliminates the need to manually update on-premise systems when changes occur in Salesforce CRM.
The iBOLT product range includes special editions designed to extend the capabilities of some of the most commonly used ERP and CRM systems including SAP, JDE Connect, IBM i (and AS/400 applications), Lotus Notes and HL7.
