The Verint high-tech company is planning to fire dozens of workers in Israel.

The company is a provider of actionable intelligence solutions for workforce optimization, IP video, communications interception, and public safety, and is NICE System's biggest competitor.

For first time since 2003, Israeli job market registers more firing than hiring; 'Unemployment will likely increase in 2009,' says Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor rep
Verint employs some 2,500 workers, hundreds of them at the company headquarters in Herzliya.
The company's stock is traded on Nasdaq non-NMS Pink Sheet following its failure to issue financial reports for several years now, after Comverse got caught up in the stock options-backdating scandal. Verint cannot issue financial reports before Comverse corrects its own reports.
The Verint company refused to comment on this report.
On Thursday morning, Ynet reported that the NetApp proprietary computer storage and data management company was dismissing most of the people working at its development center in Haifa, which will be closed in January. The company informed its employees that about 50 of them would be fired.
