Pilgrim Software Releases Enterprise Quality Management Solution Built With eDeveloper From Magic Software
Companies Sign Long Term Agreement for Development and Integration Technology
Irvine, California (June 10, 2003) - Magic Software Enterprises (NASDAQ: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art development and integration technology, announced today that independent software vendor Pilgrim Software, a leading provider of Enterprise Quality Management (EQM) solutions, has released the latest version of its Q&MIS® (Quality and Manufacturing Integrated System) Suite version 4.8, built using Magic’s eDeveloper development and integration environment (www.magicsoftware.com/edeveloper). In addition, Magic and Pilgrim have signed a long-term licensing and support technology agreement under Magic’s recently announced new Premier Partner Program.
Pilgrim’s popular Q&MIS suite is used by hundreds of companies worldwide to address quality management and business process improvement. Q&MIS is a field-proven solution that helps manufacturing organizations to improve the overall performance of their quality process. A key enhancement in version 4.80 is support for Web Services, which eDeveloper provides. This enables organizations to manage their value chains more effectively by exchanging information in real-time and making system capabilities available for suppliers, partners and customers.
“We see the Q&MIS Suite as the best-of-breed solution for Enterprise Quality Management,” said Oren Inbar, CEO of Magic Software’s North American subsidiary. “We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with Pilgrim with this agreement, which brings the benefits of eDeveloper to Pilgrim’s large and prestigious customer base and the benefits of flexible pricing and licensing to Pilgrim Software.”
Under the terms of the agreement signed with Pilgrim, Magic Software will provide development and deployment licenses, maintenance, support and training to Pilgrim Software for approximately $400,000 over the next two years.
“Using eDeveloper, we have already achieved the successful development and integration of the Q&MIS Suite with Web Services, SAP, QAD, Oracle and other ERP systems,” said Ami Utji, CEO of Pilgrim Software. “We look forward to continuing to work with eDeveloper and Magic’s recently announced iBOLT Integration Suite to achieve technological advantage. With iBOLT, Magic has taken the next logical step of providing a business process management engine that significantly enhances integration between applications using an intelligent business rules framework.”
