  • Magic Solutions International, Inc. (known as Magic Solutions) was a company specializing in help desk automation and asset management software. It started as an unplanned spin-off from a computer system integrator. Based on the east coast of the United States, it became one of east coast's most successful independent software vendors of the 1990s. The company was founded in 1988 by Igal Lichtman. The company started with one programmer and a single customer and grew to over 300 staff serving 6,000 customers. It reached a yearly revenue level of US$64M. In 1997, the company was sold to Network Associates, Inc (now known as McAfee) for $110M in cash. Along the way, Magic Solutions avoided venture capital and kept the original management team in place. The company continually outperformed, out-developed, outsold and out-marketed their better-financed west coast rivals. The company's original help desk software product, SupportMagic, lives on today as part of BMC Software, to whom McAfee sold the business in 2004.
