                                  INTRODUCTION

         Convergys Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("Parent"), and 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"),
hereby amend and supplement their Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1
originally filed on July 2, 1999 (the "Schedule 14D-1"), 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 Sub.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Item 10 (e) of the Schedule 14D-1 is amended and supplemented by adding the
following:

         With regard to In re Wiztec Solutions Litigation (the "prior
litigation"), Plaintiff Sachs filed a memorandum in opposition to the motion of
Parent and board members amenable to service of process in Ohio ("director
defendants") to dismiss on July 1, 1999. Parent and director defendants filed a
reply memorandum in support of their motion. The case is set for report on
August 4, 1999.

         On July 2, 1999, the commencement date of the Offer, a lawsuit was
commenced by shareholders who are unaffiliated with the defendants (the
"unaffiliated shareholders") in the Court of Common Pleas, Hamilton County,
Ohio: Carrazza, et al., vs. Wiztec Solutions, Ltd., et al., Case No. A9903819.
The action purports to be a class action brought on behalf of unaffiliated
shareholders and asserts claims against the Company, Parent, Sub and members of
the Company's Board of Directors. The action alleges 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, and that there was inadequate
disclosure in the April Tender Offer. The complaint purports by its terms to
seek injunctive relief requiring defendants to make full and fair disclosure of
all material facts, preventing consummation of the Offer, or rescission if it is
successfully consummated, compensatory damages, and attorneys' fees and
expenses. No motion for injunctive relief has been filed. 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 a basis to
challenge the exercise of personal jurisdiction by, and venue in, a United
States court. Parent believes the action to be without merit and intends to
contest the action 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.
