1. Sony DADC, Conquest Soft Drinks and Other Global Companies Choose Magic Software to Comply with NF-e Regulations
PRESS RELEASE
Sony DADC, Conquest Soft Drinks and Other Global Companies Choose Magic Software to Comply with NF-e Regulations
Or Yehuda, Israel, January 13, 2011 – Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a global provider of cloud and on-premise application platforms and business integration solutions, today announced that it has successfully established a new market segment and revenue stream serving the needs of global companies seeking compliance with the Brazilian government’s Nota Fiscal Eletronica (NF-e) regulations.
"It is almost impossible for an ERP system to anticipate all of the emerging government regulations worldwide,” said David Cottongim, Manager of Finance Applications and Development at Sony DADC. Sony DADC purchased iBOLT to handle its NF-e requirements last year, and has since expanded its use of iBOLT in other areas. For Sony DADC, and many other companies, the challenge of adjusting IT systems to meet the demands of different government regulations around the world highlights the need for an integration platform like iBOLT. “A global company needs a way to adjust its business processes in an agile manner, and with minimal impact on IT infrastructure," Cottongim said.
Brazil is the world’s eighth largest economy. Government regulations in Brazil require digital confirmation of the receipt of tax documents before most goods can be shipped within the country. According to the Brazilian Ministry of Finance, more than 1.8 billion NF-e have been issued in Brazil, covering goods worth more than $39 trillion. More than 400,000 companies worldwide are expected to comply with the Brazilian NF-e regulations.
Magic Software’s solution provides customers with a mechanism for issuing NF-e, and for managing Documento Auxiliar da Nota Fiscal Eletrônica (DANFE) requests and receipts. It also connects to existing ERP systems and orchestrates the entire automated business process related to NF-e.
“The entire process occurs quickly and securely, with total adherence to our management software,” said Gilberto Talaquia, director of Conquest Soft Drinks (Refrigerantes Conquest). “We chose iBOLT because the solution is efficient for our purposes. The project was part of a strategy recommended by our ERP vendor to issue NF-e by using an integration tool. Now we have the option to use iBOLT to integrate other processes for our business, such as an integration procedure between food industry stamp readers and our overall management system."
“We have successfully provided a precise and proven NF-e solution based on our uniPaaS and iBOLT technology to more than 100 customers in Brazil, Europe and North America. These companies include Sony DADC, Foroni, Conquest Soft Drinks, Organiza and Royal Canin,” said Guy Bernstein, CEO of Magic Software Enterprises. “Companies that must adapt quickly and reliably to changing government regulations turn to us for the software, experience and services needed to confront this immediate challenge.”
