[edit] Company History
Magic Software Enterprises, introduced its rapid application development tools and application deployment runtime technology to the market during the early years of the microcomputer industry. Magic Software introduced a radically different approach to building software compared to the traditional computer programming languages available at the time. The approach has been described as a table-driven rapid application paradigm that does not entail the creation of line-by-line programming code. This metadata driven approach to programming was similar to pseudo-code. It required no compiling or linking, allowing instantaneous debugging, or a true trial and error approach to development. Using Magic, software could be tested iteratively in what some call a rapid prototyping approach.
Faced with the need for growth as well as massive changes in computing environments, Magic Software adapted its deployment architecture to incorporate distributed computing, its user interface to include Windows GUI, and its data sources to include SQL databases. Today, eDeveloper V10 supports multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, i5OS). Supported databases include high speed native gateways to Oracle, MS-SQL, DB2, and Pervasive as well as ODBC drivers for environment that prefer this approach (such as MySQL). Program types include batch, online and browser-client and deployment options include desktop deployment, client-server and Internet.
In 2003, the company introduced the iBOLT Integration Suite as an enterprise application integration (EAI) suite.
