Ness Technologies Starts Multi-Million Shekel Project to Implement SAP System for Maccabi Healthcare Services' Service Providers

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 10, 2010--     Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC and TASE: NSTC), a global provider
of information technology solutions and services, announced today the
beginning of a project to implement a system for the management of Maccabi
Healthcare Services' service providers, including settlement and payment. The
system will be based on SAP's Incentives and Commissions Management (ICM)
module. The SAP ICM module will be integrated with Maccabi's existing SAP ERP
system. The project is valued at multi-millions of New Israeli Shekels.

    Maccabi Healthcare Services is Israel's second largest health maintenance
organization (HMO), providing comprehensive medical care to 1.8 million
members. Maccabi has approximately 5,000 service providers including 4,000
independent physicians.

    "The new system, which replaces an old system developed in the early
'90s, will save the cost of developing a new version of that system, and will
streamline Maccabi's work processes and improve budget control," said Ofer
Weisberg, Manager of IT and Communications Division, Maccabi Healthcare
Services. "We selected Ness Technologies for this project due to the
company's expertise and experience with SAP systems and Ness vast knowledge
in healthcare solutions and services."

    "The selection by Maccabi further positions us as a leading system
integrator and SAP implementer and it attests to our unique benefits in this
area of expertise," said Effi Kotek, President of Ness Israel. "The new
contract also represents another milestone in our successful partnership with
Maccabi Healthcare Services."
