Magic Software Joins Salesforce.com's Philanthropic Program
August 25, 2009
Magic Software Enterprises, which sells application platforms and business and process integration tools, has announced their participation in the Salesforce.com Foundation's "Power of Us" Partner Program.
The objective of the corporate patronage program is to provide Salesforce.com (News - Alert) partners with what Magic officials describe as "a simple and scalable model to make contributions to their communities through a donation of time, equity, and products to nonprofits."
As part of the partnership, Magic Software's U.K. subsidiary is offering licenses of its iBOLT business integration tool basic package free of charge, or at 80 percent discount, to Salesforce.com Foundation customers in the U.K. and Eire. Training and professional services will also be available at a reduced rate. Full details of the offer are available at.
The Salesforce.com Foundation uses a 1/1/1 philanthropy model, which supports nonprofit organizations via such methods as providing donated and discounted Salesforce CRM licenses as part of its One Percent Product Donation Program. Over 5,500 organizations in 60 countries have participated in the program.

Salesforce.com Foundation customers in the U.K. will be entitled to Magic Software's iBOLT for Salesforce.com free of charge. Standard, Professional and Enterprise licenses will be available at the 80 percent discount, "as will a number of additional components and adaptors," Salesforce.com officials say.
David Akka, Managing Director, Magic Software Enterprises, U.K., Nordics and Eire, said the firm "hopes to help young, disadvantaged people gain IT skills and qualifications through its work with both Landmark Training and the Salesforce.com Foundation Biz Academy."
Landmark provides free training programs and work opportunities for 14-24 year olds.
Last month, TMC reported that Magic signed a contract with AVL, a privately-owned company for the development of powertrains. AVL selected Magic Software's iBOLT to integrate their Salesforce.com with SAP (News - Alert) R/3 and Oracle systems.
