Firefly Successfully Migrates DdD's Retail Software from Magic to .NET

PETAH-TIKVA, Israel, September 9, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Firefly announced today that DdD Retail's Magic-based software was
automatically migrated to .NET using Firefly's automated migration software,
while maintaining the same functionality and appearance of the Magic-based
version.

    Firefly ( http://www.fireflymigration.com), the global leader in
migration of Magic-based applications to Microsoft's .NET, today announced
that the DdD's retail management software, which is deployed over the cloud
across 12 European territories, has been successfully migrated to .NET and
will soon replace the previous Magic-based version of the software. DdD
thereby joined DataMax Group, Crown Agents, Eldan Car Rental, Israel
Aerospace Industries, and others as a Firefly customer.

    DdD's back-office has been completely migrated to .NET. The back-office
facilitates centralized management of data arriving from DdD points of sale
in over 2,500 fashion stores. Among other things, the software includes
custom reports, inventory management, customer club management, etc. Prior
to the migration, DdD's software was based on uniPaaS - Magic Software
Enterprises' (NASDAQ:MGIC) latest development framework version.

    Thanks to Firefly's automated migration technology, the conversion was
completed on a short timetable at a predetermined cost without the need for
development freeze or user's retraining. The migrated software is based on
the standard .NET development environment. DdD's original development team
was preserved and following Firefly's 3-week .NET training course, are now
maintaining and developing the software on .NET.

    DdD R&D Manager Morten Gade: "Firefly has proven to be the perfect match
for reaching some of our strategic business goals. Their professionalism and
understanding of DdD's requirements has been exceptional. The service and
assistance Firefly has given in the migration process is second to none."

    Firefly founder and CEO Noam Honig: "We are proud that DdD Retail has
joined the circle of our customers. We are glad that after a long process of
considering the alternatives in the market and a meticulous examination of
the work we have done for similar customers, we were chosen to perform the
migration. The converted system is a cloud-based Internet system, and the
transition to .NET has significantly improved performance, and has also
improved the servers' ability to handle heavy loads."
