OAG Selects Magic Software’s iBOLT To Improve Its Business Process Management
Integration at every level for updated travel and transport data management system
Houten, The Netherlands (July 14, 2005) Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC), announced today that the world’s leading content management company specializing in travel and transport, OAG, has chosen Magic’s iBOLT Integration Suite to improve the flexibility and efficiency in the transfer of information between its suppliers and customers and to support the migration of its internal Workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) system to iSeries.
OAG is best known for its airline schedules database which holds flight details for 1000 airlines and more than 3500 airports. OAG collects raw data from its suppliers, which is then validated and crosschecked before being distributed in standard or customized formats to both businesses and consumers. To ensure future operation efficiency and to guarantee resilience, OAG planned to migrate applications from its mainframe to iSeries and to re-build and simplify the business flows. Key to OAG choosing iBOLT was its capabilities that embrace service orientated architectures and web services, plus its extensive BPM features.
“We selected iBOLT following a detailed evaluation of integration technology to help us deliver business orientated integration solutions for projects requiring a rapid implementation during our migration process,” comments Bryon Young, IT EMEA/ASPAC Director of OAG. “Having now had first hand experience of the capabilities and flexibility that iBOLT provides, I believe that we will also be using it as a strategic tool for long term projects. In addition, Magic’s Fast Track Integration program enabled us to keep control of the development, while still benefiting from Magic’s experience and unique pricing model, thus ensuring a maximum return on our investment.”
iBOLT is one of a few integration packages that can operate natively on the iSeries, providing OAG with enhanced performance when accessing legacy applications and databases. In addition, to ensure that the systems remain operational and operating at their peak performance, iBOLT’s business activity monitoring integrate into Tivoli (IBM’s System Management tool used by OAG), providing real time information on activity levels.
Regev Yativ, Managing Director of Magic Software EMEA said, “OAG’s choice of Magic really illustrates the powerful combination of relevant industry expertise and leading edge technology that we are able to deliver. We’re thrilled to be able to combine tactical integration and a strategic solution for OAG.”
