PRESS RELEASE
Magic Software Achieves IBM Business Partner SOA Specialty Designation
Magic Software approach in synch with IBM Service Oriented Architecture approach to drive business agility and flexibility
Or Yehuda, Israel; May 25, 2007 – Magic Software Enterprises’ (NASDAQ:MGIC), a leader in enterprise application development, deployment and integration technology, today announced its acceptance to the IBM SOA Specialty after successfully completing IBM’s rigorous SOA technical and business requirements. With this achievement, Magic Software’s technology integrates with the IBM software and strategy for SOA.
The IBM Business Partner SOA Specialty is a marketing initiative for IBM Business Partners. For this specialty, IBM selects Business Partners who market SOA content, services, or both that demonstrate compatibility with or complement the IBM SOA Foundation products, who endorse the IBM SOA strategy, and whose marketing activities IBM determines to be in agreement with its own.
A Business Partner must complete the business, technical, and educational requirements of the specialty as described on this page for ISVs or for consultants, integrators, and resellers, and must receive the invitation and approval of IBM to participate in the specialty. source: www.ibm.com “SOA is an increasingly important business requirement for organizations because of the business flexibility it enables,” said Sandy Carter, vice president, SOA and WebSphere, IBM Software Group. “Magic Software’s commitment to SOA provides their customers with a powerful way to enhance business processes while leveraging customers’ existing IT investments”.
Amit Ben-Zvi, Magic Software's vice president of products and marketing, commented, "We are delighted to be a part of the IBM SOA Specialty. SOA is the wave of the future and is already altering the entire landscape of application development by putting emphasis where it should be—on business processes and not on specific hardware or software technologies. IBM has been a major driver in SOA development and acceptance. Building Magic's solution set in accordance with IBM's own SOA strategy is extremely important to us, especially given Magic's emphasis on the IBM System i user base. Perhaps more than any other platform, users of the System i can benefit from SOA in leveraging their investment in their existing bases of applications to integrate those core business systems into the mainstream of enterprise-wide solutions."
