Magic Software’s iBOLT is a code-free business integration suite that allows for customizable and streamlined business processes, integrating them across diverse applications, platforms and databases.

iBOLT’s out-of-the-box toolset includes more than 50 connectors, adapters, and services that simplify and configure the technologies of integration.

iBOLT is designed for both technical and non-technical users, providing them with a complete integration environment that supports the entire spectrum of Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) projects. iBOLT’s set of tools and interfaces empower the whole enterprise, enabling full participation and collaboration at every stage of the integration process for both business and IT staff.

iBOLT’s data mapping capabilities lets users deal with all relevant data sources and destinations with a full, graphic view. In addition, iBOLT provides a native gateway to MS-SQL, My-SQL, Oracle DB2/400and ODBC that allows users to manipulate data using the Wizard-based SQL generator.

iBOLT’s fundamental design concept is based on the establishment of business functions and the exposure of business processes as Services.

iBOLT enables SOA through its Flow Editor. The iBOLT Flow Editor lets you map individual business flows that make up each business process, defining the messages and data exchanged between components as well as their interactions and business rules.
