PRAGUE, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Ness Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NSTC), a global provider of information technology solutions and
services, announced today that the company has received two Microsoft Awards
in the Czech Republic for superior technology services provided to customers
in the Banking, Insurance and Financial Management sector and the State &
Local, Health, Education and Training sector.

Against fierce competition, Ness was recognized for successful
implementation of a secure electronic payment platform for its customer,
CSOB, in the financial category. In the medical category, Ness’ work with
healthcare provider, the Czech General Teaching Hospital, was cited by
Microsoft.

PaySec for CSOB is a web solution providing a fast and secure platform
for electronic payments. With this system, Ness has introduced Czech Internet
users and Internet-enabled businesses to a new, secure payment channel.
Service provisioning takes only minutes, is free for consumers and does not
require a contract for use by bank clients. The project has been fully
operational for one year and now includes more than 200 Internet-enabled
businesses.

Project Zadanky is a new information system for the Czech General
Teaching Hospital that automates requisitions, delivery and tracking of
medical supplies, thereby reducing errors in the previously manual steps from
request to delivery. In addition, reporting and advanced analytical tools
created by Ness facilitate flexible tuning of the hospital’s standard
operating procedures as its internal operations evolve.

“The trust we share with key technology partners is very important for
us. By recognizing Ness in two categories, Microsoft has demonstrated a deep
appreciation for our professionalism and technology expertise. Perhaps most
importantly, the Microsoft Awards recognize the value of our projects for
end-customers,” says Paul Stovicek, chairman Ness Czech. “PaySec fills a gap
in the Czech Republic for online payments and offers a truly versatile and
convenient tool, which is helping Czech financial systems mature. In equal
measure, Project Zadanky optimizes medical processes and helps care providers
render more effective medical services.”

Ness prides itself as having one of the strongest IT professional teams
for Microsoft technology throughout Europe. Within each award category, the
company demonstrated exceptional implementation of standard Microsoft
packages, while also creating its own solutions using Microsoft technologies.
The results are finely tuned solutions for business and healthcare
organizations.
