They say that 20 years is a long time!
Long enough to develop strong expertise and knowledge, substantial experience, employ thousands of employees, and engage with hundreds of customers.
Indeed, it's been a long fascinating journey.
Curious to learn how have we managed to stay relevant?
This is our story-
We (NESS) were born (or more accurately were established) in 1999, right at the end of the year,
Just before the 'Y2K bug' (remember?!)
Straight into the reality of the new millennium, or if you will - the year 2000.
Our enthusiastic founders named us NESS, which means a miracle in Hebrew.
We learned from a first-hand source there was no doubt or hesitation about the name. Because if 'so many 'smart Jews' gathered together and agreed on founding the company, then it's clearly a miracle!
We started off with 2000 employees from day 1 (after all, Ness was incorporated through the merger of six large and established information systems companies in Israel).
All the analysts and research companies predicted big things for us.
And you know what? They were right, absolutely right!
We brought in and opened the market for SAP in Israel, and it turned into a success on an international scale! (and we'll come back to the international aspect later in our story).
We initiated a substantial outsourcing practice and were pioneers in it in the Israeli market. We participated and played a major role in the largest and most strategic projects in the country, some of which were on a national scale.
Since then, the tagline stuck with us- 'NESS operates the country'.
Pause for a moment and think about it - in everything around you,
in your day-to-day life - we have a part:
Transportation, defense and security, healthcare, energy, finance, industry,
and even government and technology.
Honestly, it's truly an Israeli pride.
And so, the years went by - we matured, got wiser... and after serving our 'national duties,' we set out on a big journey abroad -
and established subsidiaries in Europe, India, and the USA.
Indeed, we experienced global success, but we always knew that there was no place like home. Thus, eventually, we decided to focus again on the Israeli market, our home base.
And today, after 22 years (or more accurately, the first 22 years...),
as part of the Hilan Group and together with DXC Israel, we continue to proudly lead the information and digital technologies market in Israel.
With our 4,000 experts and talents – the best there are in the market, and hundreds of customers and partners – existing and new, local and global,
we decided to tell our story.
The story of all of us.
