iBOLT Studio is an enterprise application integration (EAI) and business process management (BPM) software by Magic Software Enterprises.

iBOLT Studio is the design portion of the solution and includes three visual editors: a topology editor, a business process editor, and a flow editor. The iBOLT Studio also includes a library of more than 50 included adapters (such as database adapters, messaging adapters and communication adapters), as well as services (such as publish/subscribe) and a data mapper. Supported protocols include XML, SQL, JMS, WebSphere MQ, MSMQ, HTTP, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, FTP, and others. iBOLT Studio supports direct calls from components to the integrated development environment that created it, including the included copy of eDeveloper.

iBOLT Server is a cross-platform and database independent deployment environment supporting Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux and the IBM midrange operating system now known as i5/OS (formerly OS/400). iBOLT Server supports an XML based operational data store and is based on BPEL4WS.

The iBOLT Monitor provides log views and dashboard views of activities that execute on the iBOLT Server.

The optional iBOLT Portal provides for enterprise content management and portal capabilities in a standard WebSphere or other J2EE application server.

JDE Connect is a fully-functional version of the iBOLT Integration Suite available to users of the JD Edwards Enterprise Resource Planning software.
