RA'ANANA, Israel, December 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced it has been named the winner of the 2013 Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA) STAR Award for Innovation in Enabling Customer Success, Professional Services. The company received the honor on October 23^rd at the Technology Services World (TSW) Service Transformations conference in Las Vegas.

NICE received this accolade for demonstrating an innovative Business Consulting model, which helps customers realize the maximum business value from the use of its products.

As a result, customer deployment times have been dramatically reduced, and business impacts are not only being measured but are being realized, in some cases in as few as four months.

"We are proud to receive this award, and credit goes to the talented men and women of the NICE Professional Services team that deliver business impact every day," said Barak Eilam, President of NICE Americas. "It is through our people and innovative methodologies that our customers can realize true value when implementing our solutions."
