NICE Announces Planned Departure of Ran Oz, the Company`s CFO

 

 

Ra`anana, Israel, October  24, 2006 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced that corporate vice president and chief financial officer Ran Oz has decided to leave the Company, to accept a position as Executive Vice President and CFO of BEZEQ the Israel Telecommunication Corp. Ltd. Mr. Oz will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer of NICE until his successor is duly appointed. The transition is planned to take place during the first quarter of 2007. Mr. Oz will serve as a consultant to the company through the end of 2007.

 

"After fourteen years in the global high tech industry I have decided to move to a solid industry in the domestic market," said Ran Oz, the company`s Chief Financial Officer. "I joined NICE two and a half years ago and found a great company with real potential to change the industries in which it operates. Today it is clear that NICE is the industry leader, uniquely positioned to dominate its markets with its next generation of multimedia interaction analytics solutions.  I am leaving the company in a very strong financial position, lead by an outstanding team.   I look forward to seeing it continue to succeed, and feel proud and privileged for having been a part of NICE during this exciting time."

"We would like to thank Ran for his significant contributions to NICE," said Haim Shani, the company`s Chief Executive Officer.  "Since joining us in 2004, Ran has played an important role in our growth, and he leaves us well-prepared for the future.  Everyone at NICE wishes Ran well in his new position".
