PRESS RELEASE
Magic Software Expands Presence in Eastern Europe
With New Polish Distributor - Connect Distribution
Connect Distribution to distribute uniPaaS application platform and iBOLT business integration suite
to new customers throughout Poland
Or-Yehuda, Israel, April 15, 2010 - Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a global provider of application platforms and business and process integration solutions, today announced an agreement with Connect Distribution Sp. z o.o. for the distribution of Magic Software’s uniPaaS business application platform and iBOLT business integration suite to new customers and partners throughout the Polish territory.
Magic Software is expanding its long-term presence in Poland and plans to add a number of new distribution partners in Eastern Europe over the coming months. The addition of the uniPaaS application platform and iBOLT business integration suite to Connect Distribution’s portfolio enables the company to offer new IT capabilities to medium and large enterprises in the Polish market and to increase its footprint in the application and integration software markets.
Chris Szubert, General Manager for Connect Distribution commented on the agreement, “As a value added software distributor we have been looking for quite some time for a good and solid provider of application platforms and business integration solutions. Magic Software is definitely one of these as well as a great complementary vendor to our extensive software portfolio – delivering technology, simplicity and in the end, business productivity.”
uniPaaS application platform enables enterprises and software vendors to build client/server applications and rich internet applications (RIA) targeting the latest technologies such as Cloud computing, mobile phones and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings. The iBOLT business integration suite is based upon the same business-ready, code-free technology stack as uniPaaS. The product is able to simplify the integration of business applications including ERP, CRM, logistics, supply chain management and other enterprise systems.
Ran Lewinski, Distribution General Manager for Magic Software also commented, “We are very pleased to be working with Connect Distribution, a highly respected value-added IT distributor with a great deal of experience in the area of advanced information technology solutions. Our agreement will help us to continue expanding our presence in Eastern Europe and to introduce new Polish enterprises and ISVs to our fast, productive and cost-efficient technologies for any size or scope of business application development, deployment or integration needs.”

Notes for Editors
uniPaaS is an application platform enabling Enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to deliver business applications with minimal project risk and associated costs.
Business-Ready Application Development
uniPaaS’ ready-made business application engine (metadata engine) allows developers to bypass the intensive code-writing stage and move more quickly and cost-efficiently to a full business application delivery. This results in fewer project failures and more ability to meet budget and timeline requirements.
Multiple Deployment Capability
With uniPaaS, developers can build an application once and then deploy in multiple modes, including; desktop, client/server, HTML web applications and web 2.0 rich internet applications. Multiple application versions can be more cost-effectively maintained as they are based on the same single development effort and codebase.
Mobile Application Support
The latest versions of uniPaaS make Windows Mobile access to RIA and SaaS as easy as Desktop access. This improves application availability for employees working out of the office. Mobile access also allows technicians and field staff using hand-held computing devices to directly access their business applications and be constantly connected to the organization’s back-end systems.
Full .NET integration
With full .NET integration for PC’s and mobile devices, uniPaaS enables enterprise IT departments and ISVs to create rich internet business applications that maximize the capabilities of the client platform user interface while providing complete connectivity to external devices and easier re-use of existing .NET code and assemblies.
iBOLT is a code-free business and process integration suite. The product works natively with systems such as SAP Business One, SAP Business All in One, SAP R/3, Salesforce.com, Oracle JD Edwards, IBM i applications and databases (AS/400), Lotus Notes applications, forms and databases, Health Care systems using HL7, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Sharepoint, EDI systems, and many more. iBOLT has won SAP’s quality and innovation awards for three consecutive years, from 2006 to 2008.
