Hackensack, NJ – March 16, 2010 –
Ness Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTC and TASE:

Sameš will report to Ness Technologies’ President and CEO, Sachi Gerlitz, and

who served from 2005 to 2007 as Managing Director of Ness Czech and, previously,
from 2004 to 2005 as vice president of operations for Ness Central & Eastern

to Ness Technologies and to wish him much success in his future
career.”
“I am
delighted to return to Ness and I look forward to the exciting challenges
ahead,” said Milan Sameš. “Despite the economic slowdown in Central and Eastern
