(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 26, 2001 ) 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 signed a deal with BBDO InterOne, a member of the BBDO worldwide network of agencies, to use Magic eService™ to provide itself and its customers totally Web-enabled service centers. BBDO InterOne, headquartered in Germany, works with companies to develop comprehensive customer management relationship and e-business strategies.

“We selected Magic eService to implement an enhanced customer service strategy after receiving an extensive demonstration of the technology and witnessing the ease with which the system could be adopted and changed depending upon customer requirements,” said Christian Dietrich, General Manager of BBDO InterOne. “The fact that Magic eService is 100% Web-based was another compelling reason for choosing this solution.”
