Magic xpa Application Platform Reviews

Police records management and emergency nanagement.

The police application is an xpa 3.2 Windows client/server solution that uses Pervasive PSQL and utilizes remote desktop services for remote access.

The emergency management solution also uses the xpa 3.2 and Pervasive PSQL Windows client/server solution, along with an xpa 3.2 RIA mobile Android application for field reporting of road closures and utility damage.

Typically an experienced Magic developer can do the work of two to three experienced C#/.NET developers. Customers are amazed at how quickly most new features can be added and bug fixes implemented. I have worked for four employers - including myself - using Magic, and in most instances, bug fixes are addressed and deployed in under six hours.

When shops decide to move away from Magic to other environments, one of the thorniest issues they immediately confront is customer dissatisfaction with turnaround time on bugs. When talking to a prospective customer this is a huge advantage.

My company has always used Magic. It allows me to respond faster to customer needs than my competitors. Magic is built for data manipulation and is extremely efficient at it. My applications include their own reporting, auditing, and Help Desk features, written in Magic. There is no need for third-party reporting tools (except for charting), Help Desk solutions, or a DBA to query logs.

Years ago I was working on a law enforcement data sharing project and a police chief was skeptical that I could pull off everything promised since I was the sole developer. In an attempt to prove his point, he asked me to add a field to a data entry form and include an error check for a range of values. He was willing to break for lunch to give me time to complete the task. I asked him to pour himself a fresh cup of coffee and it would be done. By the time he sat down the requested changes had been implemented and were on the screen for his review. It turned out he had been asking his current vendor for similar changes for almost two years. He has been a customer since 2001. You will find this to be a common story among Magic developers.

We have an inbuilt software development team, so we're using the solution for all of our internal applications. The major application is retail billing software. We also use it for a workflow management system. We're developing more than 90 applications in-house, which are used across all the departments in our corporate office.

We're using version 3.2.

We are using the cloud version of Magic XPA.

We chose this solution because it's very flexible. It allows us to immediately give the solution to the end user. It saves time for our customers. It provides a quicker turnaround of application development and deployment.

Magic xpa is the primary development tool for software that manages healthcare information for about 100,000 people. This information includes demographic data, employment history, coverages, enrolled plans, claims, payments, etc., and it is exchanged via a variety of media including paper forms, standard 832 files, and custom text files.

Being able to make changes to existing programs to comply with last minute changes in requirements, and/or being able to fix, test, review, and deploy new code in a manner of hours instead of days, definitely gives us a huge advantage over our competitors and this is only possible thanks to Magic’s speed of programming.

We use this solution to develop ERP software for our clients. We have a portfolio of more than 100 clients, from small companies to big ones. I have several enterprise clients, and all of them are running the xpa ERP system. We use xpa to build for the Financial Department, Sales Department, HR, Salaries Department, and so on.

xpa gives us a fast development speed. The most important thing is that it is oriented toward user functionalities.

I've been working as an independent contractor, software designer, software architect, and programmer for over 25 years. The clients I've had have been in different branches, but mostly in the banking and insurance fields. The applications that I used Magic to develop were mostly in banking and insurance and they varied from native client server applications to web applications.

The best feature of Magic is the development time. The time it takes to develop something is incredibly fast if you compare Magic with, for example, Java. Magic is faster at developing to achieve the same goal. That's the main reason why I like it so much.

In our company, we manage internal systems and have recently expanded our offerings to include offsite companies in Thailand and the Philippines. Our system provides HR solutions and production systems, with a focus on data management and planning. We use the Magic xpa Application Platform to track the release and receipt of parts from suppliers, the production of finished goods, and the delivery of the product to customers. If the customer finds defects, the product is returned to us for further analysis in the production process. This is a general overview of how our systems typically operate.

The Magic xpa Application Platform is very suitable for production since it is easy to update. The program is simple to upgrade and deploy. The solution is convenient in production. You need to adjust the data, then adjust the program which is not difficult.

My company uses the Magic xpa Application Platform for document management. The company developed a system for document management thirty years ago, which runs on the Magic xpa Application Platform.

What I found most valuable in the Magic xpa Application Platform is that it has a client-server and web browser technology that's perfect for company users.

We switched to Magic xpa because in the old fashioned version we were at the end and we had to buy a new SS. In the old fashioned Magic, we didn't have the opportunity to have browser controls, to send or receive emails, communicate with external resources, and so on. With xpa, we have that ability.

Magic is rapid, it's a tool which we use to develop, change and maintain our programs. xpa has a lot more features onboard and it gives us the opportunity to do such things so that we can easily adapt and maintain our programs. It gives certain benefits to stay with our customers and the market.
