  • Magic Software Still Has The Touch In Q1

    May 12, 2014 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Software development tool maker Magic Software Enterprises is riding up the wave of mobile and cloud software development and tools to integrate legacy systems into these new-fangled apps and devices.

    In the first quarter ended in March, Magic Software reported revenues of $40.95 million, up 22.6 percent from the year ago period. Its costs did not rise as fast as sales, and neither did research and development costs and other operational costs, and so the company was able to bring $4.85 million to the bottom line, an increase of 29.4 percent over the same quarter in 2013.

    The company’s cash hoard has been growing nicely as the business has done better, and stood at $87.4 million at the end of the quarter, up by a factor of 1.5 times. The company only has $3.1 million in in debts, both long-term and short term. That cash hoard was bumped up by an offering of shares to the public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, where it had net proceeds after paying off the lawyers and bankers of $54.7 million.

    “I am very pleased to report another excellent quarter with strong performance across our products and professional services in all regions,” Guy Bernstein, chief executive officer at Magic Software, said in a statement accompanying the financial results. “Our revenue streams are growing in line with Magic’s strategic development goals.”

    “This strong start to 2014 along with the additional capital from our recent public offering puts us on track to continue to create and deliver long-term shareholder value,” Bernstein continued. “We are confident in our growth strategy and are establishing revenue guidance in the range of $161 million to $165 million for the full year 2014.”

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
