  NICE Announces Filing of $220 Million Universal Shelf Registration Statement

Ra'anana, Israel, August 28, 2005 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a global
provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from
Interactions,(TM) today announced that it filed a universal shelf registration
statement on Form F-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow it to
offer from time to time in the future up to $220 million of various types of
NICE securities, including ADSs, senior and subordinated debt securities,
purchase contracts, units and warrants.

The shelf registration statement, when effective, will allow NICE to sell, from
time to time in one or more offerings, up to an aggregate value of $220 million,
which will allow NICE to access the capital markets periodically in the future.
The terms of any offering under the registration statement will be established
at the time of the offering and set forth in a prospectus supplement. A copy of
any such prospectus supplement, when available, may be obtained from the
Secretary of NICE at 8 Hapnina Street, Ra'anana, Israel.

NICE expects to use the net proceeds from offerings under the universal shelf
registration statement on Form F-3 in connection with its strategic plan,
including the financing of acquisitions and other business combinations, and
general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital, and
repayment or reduction of long-term and short-term debt.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These
securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
