| Magic Software delivers Agility for SAP Business One On the occasion of the first global SAP Business One TechSummit 2005, Magic Software Enterprises, highlighted today the significant added value that channel partners and their worldwide small and midsize customers gained as a result of Magic's relationship with SAP AG. This strategic partnership, which began in North America at the end of 2004, has already attracted over 60 SAP Business One partners worldwide. They are selling enhanced solutions that can be rapidly implemented and simply deployed by small and midsized enterprises (SMEs). As part of the partnership, Magic has developed a customized version of Magic's iBOLT Integration Suite for SAP (http://www.magicsoftware.com/ibolt),which complements SAP's existing arsenal of cutting-edge development tools for SAP Business One. It enables SAP Business One customers to rapidly enhance their SAP Business One systems with a range of features -- including extended workflows, composite applications, multi-channel access, unlimited interoperability and integration with other systems and platforms, as well as business activity and performance monitoring. "Magic provides SAP Business One partners with huge benefits. It offers cost savings at both ends of the scale. For us the shorter timescales in developing a project means that we can reallocate staff to work on other projects improving our own return on investment. For end users it can considerably lower the cost of implementing certain new functionality making projects that once seemed too expensive, easily achievable, " explains Mark O'Dwyer Managing Director of Irish International Sales, the main Irish distributor for SAP Business One, about why they chose to partner with Magic. SAP Business One (http://www.sap.com/solutions/smb/businessone)is an affordable, integrated business management solution designed specifically for small and midsize businesses. Exceptionally user-friendly and easily tailored to meet businesses' changing needs, SAP Business One delivers a unified picture of up-to-the-minute business information allowing users to achieve new levels of control and profitable growth. SAP's industry-leading integration tools for SAP Business One allow partners to seamlessly integrate additional functionality and solutions. The Information Management Group (IMG), who signed a global partnership with Magic in September, is a leading SAP partner offering customized solutions from the entire SAP product family. IMG, who holds four SAP Quality Awards, employs more than 500 mySAP consultants and 30 SAP Business One consultants. Fredy Marty, Senior Vice President of IMG, explains IMG's decision to develop an iBOLT Competence Center: "The simplicity and speed of an iBOLT implementation enables us to offer new compelling solutions to our SME SAP customers, adding significant value to their existing platforms and encouraging them to farther extend their use of our SAP solutions, " "Magic has further energized a vibrant partner community common to both our companies, " said Glen Doody, Vice President Channel Enablement Global Small and Medium Business for SAP AG. "That is exactly what we set out to do in building our SME channel, and we are committed to continue and support the partner community to achieve excellence and strong business value to our customers" he added. David Assia, Chairman and acting CEO of Magic Software, concluded "It is now the first anniversary of our partnership, and our presence at the SAP global TechSummit alongside many other SAP partners who chose iBOLT to complement their SAP offering is the best indicator of how relevant to the market and successful it is." write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Networking News :: home page |
