Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC) and STS Group (MLSTS – FR0010173518) announces the successful conclusion of a Technology Partnership agreement, enabling STS Group to embed Magic Software’siBOLT business integration technology within its solutions. Following a short period of integration, STS Group delivered its enhanced legal records retention solution to i-BP, the IT subsidiary of Banque Populaire, a French banking network.

STS Group products focus on the legal retention requirements of all types of documents and digital objects, in compliance with European Union (EU) legislation. Its solutions include the whole range of European statutory provisions established over the last six years.

In view of the increasing requirements to associate records retention with business processes and applications, STS Group chose Magic Software’s iBOLT business integration technology to enhance STS Group’s legal retention solution.  The new offering adds orchestration, process monitoring and exception handling capabilities, as well as improved scalability.

“In such a project, which had to provide a major financial institution with a company-wide legal archive in compliance with all regulations, Magic Software’s technology has been a major asset,” said Thierry Blanc, Head of Marketing at STS Group. “We were able to understand and embed it in our solution in a very short time, proving how agile and adaptable it actually is.”

“We are very proud to partner with a truly European vendor such as STS Group,” said Avigdor Luttinger, vice president of corporate strategy at Magic Software Enterprises. “We see a strong traction in Europe with vertically focused vendors, who take advantage of our technology to strengthen their leadership in their respective markets. By addressing EU regulations in combination with records retention, STS Group demonstrates how to take advantage of a pan-European solution.”

Steria, a major French Systems Integrator, was entrusted with the integration of the project at I-BP.
