Voigt is quickly realizing the benefits of iBOLT and has already won its first project to create a federated application architecture for a major liquid gas company in Germany.
In this initial project win, Voigt will utilize iBOLT (www.magicsoftware.com/ibolt) as the strategic integration and development platform.
