Israel's Academic College of Tel Aviv-Jaffa has signed a three-year, multi-million-dollar outsourcing contract with service provider Ness Technologies to maintain the college's current infrastructure and develop future IT systems and applications. Ness has operations in Israel, as well as the United States and other countries.

"The service agreement with Ness Technologies saves significant IT maintenance costs while improving the college's support and service capabilities," said CIO Amir Feigenbaum. "During the next three years, Ness will manage a variety of IT projects including the implementation of new systems and consolidate disparate existing systems to improve efficiency and save long-term costs."

The Academic College of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, founded in 1994, comprises four undergraduate and graduate schools.
