Magic To Implement Web-Based Juvenile Tracking System For The State Of Washington

Contract Valued at More than $1.5 Million

IRVINE, CA - Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC), a leading provider of state-of-the-art application development technology and business solutions, announced today that it has been awarded a contract valued at more than $1.5 million to deliver a Web-based Juvenile Tracking System (JTS) for the Office of the Administrator of the Courts (OAC) for the State of Washington. Magic will be working with its Solutions Partner, Stephenson Computer Consulting, to design and implement the solution.

"The system being delivered to OAC makes maximum utility of Magic's extensive Web development expertise, as well our integration capabilities," said Menachem Hasfari, chief executive officer of Magic. "These are areas where Magic excels, adding real value to the work performed for our customers worldwide."

The JTS to be delivered under the contract will replace an existing COBOL-based mainframe application. It will be integrated with OAC's existing applications, which run on an IBM OS/390 mainframe using DB2 as their database. In addition, the solution will be deployed using browser-based clients in order to minimize remote systems management.

"OAC chose a Magic-based system because of its ability to integrate easily with OAC's mainframe and DB2 environment," said Charlene Stevenson, project manager of OAC. "In addition, Magic's ability to deliver a Web-based product, as well as our ability to rapidly customize the application in-house using Magic's development technology, were key elements in the decision-making process."

"Magic is delighted to have this opportunity to work with the State of Washington to deliver what promises to be a highly functional and scalable juvenile tracking system," said Raphael Inbar, president of Magic's North American subsidiary.
