BNP Real Estate Uses Magic xpa Application Platform to Enhance and Mobilize its Key Sales Application
OR YEHUDA, Israel, June 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. [http://www.magicsoftware.com/?utm_source=pr ]
(NASDAQ: MGIC [http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/mgic ]), a global provider of software
platforms [http://www.magicsoftware.com/products?utm_source=pr ] for enterprise mobility
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/enterprise-mobility?utm_source=pr ], cloud applications
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/cloud-enabled-application-platform?utm_source=pr ], and
business integration
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/magic-xpi-integration-platform?utm_source=pr ], announced
today that BNP Real Estate
[http://www.realestate.bnpparibas.com/bnppre/en/home-cfo4_12097.html ], a subsidiary of BNP
Paribas [http://www.bnpparibas.com/en ] operating in all areas of the real-estate
business, has successfully upgraded and mobilized its key eBroker sales application using
the Magic xpa Application Platform
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/magic-xpa-application-platform?utm_source=pr ]. The new iPad
application allows all information about the company's real-estate assets to be used by
BNP Real Estate's 400 salespeople in the field.
Over the years, BNP Real Estate's eBroker application had become outdated; it lacked
desired features, performed poorly, and was difficult to use. BNP Real Estate used Magic
xpa [http://www.magicsoftware.com/magic-xpa-application-platform?utm_source=pr ] to
improve eBroker's user interface and range of functions using RIA (Rich Internet
Application [http://www.magicsoftware.com/magic-xpa-application-platform?utm_source=pr ])
technology, while retaining the core business rules of the original application. The
project was completed and rolled out in just six months.
In addition to desktop access, salespeople can now access the application on their
iPads while in the field. The application fully complies with the BNP Paribas Group's
security policy since connections are made using a highly secure RSA authentication token,
data transits via 3G network or by Wi-Fi, and the IS Department implemented a new mobile
device infrastructure.
"The enhanced eBroker application is very user friendly and its new features enable
our salespeople to respond to customers immediately with relevant information displayed in
an easily understood visual format. For example, our salespeople can now bring up a list
of offers with their geographical locations displayed on a map or produce a PowerPoint
presentation including a complete description of each offer and send it directly to the
customer by email," explains Eric Francois, Chief Information Officer at BNP Real Estate.
"The application has been overwhelmingly endorsed by our salespeople, to the extent that
we have had to increase the number of user licences," adds Francois.
"Magic is proud of our close working relationships with our customers. By
understanding BNP Real Estate's specific needs and mobility requirements
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/enterprise-mobility?utm_source=pr ], we were able to guide
them use to leverage Magic xpa's RIA technology and built in mobile deployment
[http://www.magicsoftware.com/magic-xpa-application-platform?utm_source=pr ] options to
rapidly roll out iPad and desktop apps while adhering to the company's enterprise-grade
performance and security requirements," said Eric Choppe, the Managing Director of Magic
France.
