module will be integrated with Maccabi's existing SAP ERP system.
The project is valued at multi-millions of New Israeli Shekels.

million members. Maccabi has approximately 5,000 service providers

system, and will streamline Maccabi's work processes and improve
budget control," said Ofer Weisberg,
Manager of IT and Communications Division, Maccabi Healthcare
Services. "We selected Ness Technologies for this project due to
the company's expertise and experience with SAP systems and Ness
