                                  INTRODUCTION

         Convergys Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("Parent"), Convergys Israel
Investments Ltd., a company limited by shares duly registered under the laws of
the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"), and
Convergys Information Management Group Inc., an Ohio corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent ("Convergys IMG"), hereby amend and supplement their
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 originally filed on April 1, 1999, with
respect to the offer to purchase all of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, New
Israeli Shekel 1 Par Value (the "Shares"), of Wiztec Solutions Ltd., a company
limited by shares duly registered under the laws of the State of Israel (the
"Company"), not already owned by Parent and Convergys IMG.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

         Item 10 of the Schedule 14D-1 is amended and supplemented by deleting
paragraph (e) and substituting the following paragraph in its place:

   
         (e) Since the announcement by Parent and Sub of the intention to
commence the Offer, five lawsuits have been commenced by shareholders who are
unaffiliated with the defendants (the "unaffiliated shareholders"). Four of the
lawsuits are in the Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County, Ohio: Carrazza, et
al., vs. Wiztec Solutions, Ltd., et al., Case No. A9901656; Tucker vs. Wiztec
Solutions, Ltd., et al., Case No. A9901672; Papier vs. Wiztec Solutions, Ltd.,
et al., Case No. A9901742; and Kuris vs. Steven G. Rolls, et al., Case No.
A9901848. The fifth lawsuit is in the United States District Court, Eastern
District of New York: Forman, et al. vs. Wiztec Solutions Ltd., et al., Case No.
CV 99 1731. Each of the actions purports to be a class action brought on behalf
of unaffiliated shareholders and asserts claims against the Company, Parent and
members of the Company Board of Directors. The actions each allege that, through
the conduct of the defendants, Parent has proposed to acquire the Shares at an
unfair and inadequate price, in violation of fiduciary duties allegedly owed by
the defendants to the unaffiliated shareholders. The complaints purport by their
terms to seek injunctive relief preventing consummation of the Offer, or
rescission if it is successfully consummated, compensatory damages, and
attorneys' fees and expenses. The time within which the defendants who have been
served have to respond to the complaints has not expired. The Company and its
Israeli directors believe they have the basis to challenge the exercise of
personal jurisdiction by, and venue in, a United States court. The defendants
who have been served anticipate that the complaints filed in the Hamilton County
Court of Common Pleas will be consolidated into a single action. Parent believes
the actions to be without merit and intends to contest the actions vigorously.
It is the present intention of Parent and Sub not to extend the Expiration Date
or raise the Offer Price as a result of the pending litigation.
    

ITEM 11. INFORMATION TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Item 11 of the Schedule 14D-1 is amended and supplemented by adding the
following:

         (a)(10) Supplement to Offer to Purchase, dated April 22, 1999.

                                SPECIAL FACTORS
 
CERTAIN LITIGATION
 
     The information set forth under "Special Factors - Certain Litigation" is
hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
 
     Since the announcement by Parent and Sub of the intention to commence the
Offer, five lawsuits have been commenced by shareholders who are unaffiliated
with the defendants (the "unaffiliated shareholders"). Four of the lawsuits are
in the Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County, Ohio: Carrazza, et al., vs.
Wiztec Solutions, Ltd., et al., Case No. A9901656; Tucker vs. Wiztec Solutions,
Ltd., et al., Case No. A9901672; Papier vs. Wiztec Solutions, Ltd., et al., Case
No. A9901742; and Kuris vs. Steven G. Rolls, et al., Case No. A9901848. The
fifth lawsuit is in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New
York: Forman, et al. vs. Wiztec Solutions Ltd., et al., Case No. CV 99 1731.
Each of the actions purports to be a class action brought on behalf of
unaffiliated shareholders and asserts claims against the Company, Parent and
members of the Company Board of Directors. The actions each allege that, through
the conduct of the defendants, Parent has proposed to acquire the Shares at an
unfair and inadequate price, in violation of fiduciary duties allegedly owed by
the defendants to the unaffiliated shareholders. The complaints purport by their
terms to seek injunctive relief preventing consummation of the Offer, or
rescission if it is successfully consummated, compensatory damages, and
attorneys' fees and expenses. The time within which the defendants who have been
served have to respond to the complaints has not expired. The Company and its
Israeli directors believe they have the basis to challenge the exercise of
personal jurisdiction by, and venue in, a United States court. The defendants
who have been served anticipate that the complaints filed in the Hamilton County
Court of Common Pleas will be consolidated into a single action. Parent believes
the actions to be without merit and intends to contest the actions vigorously.
It is the present intention of Parent and Sub not to extend the Expiration Date
or raise the Offer Price as a result of the pending litigation.
