Magic Software’s iBOLT Makes Further Inroads in the Financial Services Industry
Israel 6th largest commercial bank uses the iBOLT Integration Platform
OR YEHUDA, ISRAEL (November 29, 2005) Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art business integration and development technology, announced today that Bank Igud (known internationally as Union Bank), Israel’s sixth largest commercial bank, has successfully integrated its systems with Magic’s iBOLT Integration Platform.
The initial project was focused on file based messaging within the bank as well as with third parties. Time critical messages include updates on items such as currency rates and inter-bank transactions from abroad, and internal information that needs to be shared with outside parties including its auditors. The iBOLT-enabled system provides full real-time control on the information exchanges, and thus allows substantial savings in maintenance time.

We have adopted the technology because of its fast learning curve and easy maintenance, which are required for the development of Integration scenarios within business processes”.
An additional system that allows the download of files to an SQL Database is to become operational In the near future. The Bank is also planning at present to implement with iBOLT critical business processes in interaction with it’s AS-400 based systems.
" Bank Igud’s iBOLT implementation is another example of a leading financial institution that has placed their trust in Magic's development and integration platforms and has achieved a solution that exceeded their expectations." said Udi Ertel, General Manager of Magic Israel, the Israeli subsidiary of Magic Software Enterprises. "Magic is honored to be able to continue our long term relationship with an Israeli economy leader such as Bank Igud."
