Exhibit 99.1

Verint to Acquire Vovici Creating Category Leader in Voice of the Customer Solutions

Combination Will Create Industry’s Most Comprehensive VoC Provider for Multichannel Analytics, Including Speech, Social Media, Email, Web Chat and Enterprise Feedback

MELVILLE, N.Y., July 19, 2011 — Expanding on its Voice of the Customer (VoC) Analytics platform, Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire, upon closing, Vovici™, an industry leader in enterprise feedback management (EFM) solutions. This combination will create a new category leader in enterprise solutions designed for chief customer officers (CCOs), chief marketing officers (CMOs), chief experience officers (CXOs) and other VoC executives across organizations. As the market’s most comprehensive VoC Analytics platform available, the Verint-Vovici solution will enable organizations to implement a single-vendor solution for collecting, analyzing and acting on customer insights.

The acquisition will add Vovici’s powerful, scalable and easy-to-use enterprise feedback solutions to the Verint VoC Analytics platform, which is setting a new industry standard for helping forward-thinking organizations develop a single solution set for VoC initiatives across voice recordings, surveys, email, chat and social media. Combined with the industry’s leading speech and text analytics solutions and workforce optimization suite, the addition of Vovici will add market-leading VoC functionality, including advanced survey management, customer profile management, interactive dashboards and ad-hoc analysis across any customer touch point. Learn more about Vovici and its product line, by clicking here.

“This business combination will change the playing field in the market, advancing our customers around the globe through a solution designed to help them achieve their voice of the customer goals at all levels—from the contact center through the entire enterprise,” says Dan Bodner, CEO, Verint. “Combining Vovici’s deep domain expertise with our actionable intelligence vision will further position us to solidify our already strong market leadership position.”

“Further, the combination is a strategic move that will fill a void in the market by enabling customers to extract tremendous value from this emerging toolset for the chief customer officer,” adds Bodner. “It will offer our combined customers another means to extract critical information through sophisticated enterprise feedback and robust analytics to better anticipate, understand and act on the VoC—helping foster more loyal customers and drive more profitable business outcomes.”

Through solutions in Verint’s VoC Analytics platform, leading brands—including many from the Fortune 100—trust Verint to deliver the actionable intelligence required to make better business decisions and improve enterprise performance. Similarly, Vovici solutions deliver measurable return on investment (ROI) across a

variety of industries. For example, a leading manufacturer of outdoor equipment redesigned its product packaging based on customer feedback, which resulted in double-digit sales growth; and a U.S. nationwide retailer saved more than $4 million and enabled projects to be completed three to five times faster.

“Generating a unified view into the customer experience is a critical enabler for every business today,” says Greg Stock, CEO, Vovici. “Whether driving customer loyalty, optimizing operational performance or supporting broader business transformation initiatives, the addition of Vovici to Verint’s proven, market-leading solutions will greatly expand our ability to help unlock the value of customer experiences.”

Industry experts agree on the importance of tapping into these customer experiences to drive operational excellence. Notes Kathleen Peterson, chief vision officer, PowerHouse Consulting, “We are seeing C-level customer experience and associated positions take off. As a result, organizations need tools that will enrich their roles. When combined with the right strategic planning around the customer experience, the combination of Verint and Vovici will offer customers the technology to help bring these critical voice of the customer initiatives to life.”

Delivering on the Promise of VoC Analytics to Respond to Failing Customer Experiences

According to independent research company Forrester Research, Inc., “For roughly two-thirds of US brands, [the] customer experience ranges from just OK to downright bad.”(1) It adds that “Many customer experience initiatives don’t meet their full potential—or worse, fail completely—because neither employees nor partners have a complete picture of what the customer experience actually entails or the dynamics that go into creating it.”(2) Implementing a comprehensive VoC program that correlates customer touch points can optimize performance across all channels, so organizations can keep customers engaged with great experiences and loyal through great relationships.

Leveraging the Verint-Vovici solution, global customers can drive loyalty through actionable insights by standardizing on a single vendor VoC solution set across the full range of customer communications channels—voice, email, chat, web and IVR surveys, online communities and social media outlets—using:

·                  Speech Analytics—directly mines insight from the recorded voice, whether as part of a contact center interaction or voice-based (IVR) feedback program, and analyzes mass recorded conversations to identify call drivers, call topics and customer attitudes.

·                  Social Media Analytics—directly mines insight and customer sentiment from social media channels.

·                  Email and Web Chat Analytics—directly mines insight and customer sentiment from other text-based sources, such as email, web chat and customer feedback sentiments.

·                  Feedback Analytics—creates useable and timely insights needed to improve products, loyalty and advocacy. Interactive dashboards accelerate the discovery and sharing of insight, support and ad-hoc analysis, and enable push reports driving timely insight into the business.

·                  Integration to the industry’s leading WFO platform—Verint’s Impact 360® Workforce Optimization™ suite enables organizations to implement, manage and track performance improvement programs throughout the enterprise to help service, delight and retain customers.

For any initiative that requires insight into customer sentiment, these Verint solutions can help organizations gain deep understanding by leveraging unified customer data across communications channels for a singular view into experiences. The Verint VoC Analytics platform enables users to see all of the different interactions coming from the same customer in a defined time period sorted by interaction date. The result is the market’s most complete view into what’s really happening with customers, the drivers of issues and cross-channel patterns, and the ability to predict their needs, expectations and end behaviors.
