This unique combination, will enable to take millions and millions of transactions and interactions, and handle huge masses of data, comprising a full view of the customer touch points within the organization,” added Mr. Shani.
By successfully closing the acquisition before the expected date, NICE hopes to achieve an additional contribution of approximately $3 million in non-GAAP revenues and a dilution of 1 to 2 cents in non-GAAP EPS in the third quarter 2007. NICE also plans to record transaction related costs and write-offs that will affect third quarter 2007 GAAP results.
