The Project Will Allow SkyVision to Synchronize Their On-Demand Salesforce.com
With Their On-Premise SAP Business One and Other Applications

    OR-YEHUDA, Israel, August 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magic Software
Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC) http://www.magicsoftware.com, a leading
provider of application platform
(http://www.magicsoftware.com/2559-en/uniPaaS.aspx), and business and process
integration (http://www.magicsoftware.com/78-en/products.aspx) solutions,
today announced that Magic Software Israel and Blat-Lapidot will be
performing a business application integration for SkyVision, a major supplier
of communications services for developing markets.
    Magic Software's iBOLT business integration suite will connect and
integrate SkyVision's Salesforce.com on-demand CRM system that currently is
operated by the company as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), to the company's
on-premise SAP Business One ERP system and other internal systems. Through
integration the company aims to build and improve their business and
organizational processes to enable the real-time bi-directional flow of
information through the organization without departmental or system
boundaries.
    According to Eran Benno, vice president of operations for SkyVision, "The
choice of the iBOLT integration suite to synchronize our IT systems will
allow us to make great cost and work time savings. Until now, these processes
have been performed manually, but with the arrival of iBOLT we can now
eliminate the repetitive manual data duplication that's been taking up much
of our staff's time and in the process drastically reduce the instances of
human error affecting our business data.
    "The special edition of Magic Software's iBOLT for Salesforce.com allows
us to offer our customers a code-free integration solution that will enable
them to make better use of their installed IT systems, and their
Salesforce.com application," said Maya Komerov, CEO business applications at
Blat-Lapidot.
    According to Udi Ertel, CEO Magic Software Israel, "We are very pleased
to implement this important Salesforce project with Blat-Lapidot for
SkyVision. Having only recently launched iBOLT for Salesforce.com, this
project win clearly reinforces the need for a cost-effective, fast and
out-of-the-box integration solution. Our iBOLT business integration suite
ensures that management and staff make more effective business decisions that
lead to greater productivity while our code-free approach enables far shorter
time-to-market than the use of code-based tools or custom coding."
    iBOLT for Salesforce.com
(http://www.magicsoftware.com/348-en/products.aspx) is a special edition of
Magic Software's award-winning business integration suite. iBOLT for
Salesforce.com is code-free and can integrate on-demand CRM applications such
as Salesforce.com with other enterprise business applications including ERP,
Finance, Human Resource Management Systems, Distribution and Data Warehouse
Management. By facilitating the sharing of information across the Enterprise,

duplication and manual data entry arising from the compartmentalization of
mission-critical data.

worldwide.
    Magic Software will showcase iBOLT for Salesforce.com at a number of
Salesforce.com Success-Tours and Tour-de-Force events, as well as at
