Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a leading provider of application platforms and business and process integration solutions, today announced a free webinar about Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) trends with industry experts Jeff Kaplan and Phil Wainewright. Mobilizing the Enterprise: Using RIA and SaaS to Do More with Less will occur on Thursday, December, 11, 2008, at 3:00 p.m. EST and will detail how companies can leverage RIA and SaaS to help overcome the recession and get the most out of current IT investments. 

Organizations are facing unprecedented business challenges with economic cutbacks, having to do more with less and catering to a new demographic of workers – those who are extremely mobile. These challenges have fueled the growth of RIA and SaaS, as well as the emergence of new application platforms that are attractive alternatives to traditional on-premise software and systems.

Magic Software’s webinar will examine the challenges and opportunities faced by enterprise IT professionals and independent software vendors (ISVs) and present new software paradigms and platforms. This webinar also will outline how companies can utilize RIA and SaaS within their existing IT systems.  Key areas of discussion include:

  • Jeff Kaplan, founder and managing director of THINKstrategies will outline key areas and opportunities presented by RIA, SaaS, and the emerging breed of application platforms designed to provide organizations with cost-effective alternatives to traditional on-premise software.
  • Avigdor Luttinger, vice president corporate strategy for Magic Software, will discuss the advantages of a metadata driven approach for RIA and SaaS development and deployment.
  • Phil Wainewright, ebizQ analyst and strategist specializing in on demand services, will be moderating the discussion.
