WizCom Technologies Announces the Appointment of a New Executive Chairman

Jerusalem (ots)

WizCom Technologies Ltd. (WizCom) (NeuerMarkt:
WZM, WKN: 915856) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Erez
Meltzer as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Meir Shamir,
who has held this position up until now, will serve as  Director of
the Board.
Mr. Meltzer, the former President and CEO of CreoScitex
Corporation Ltd., a merger of  Preprint Operations of Scitex and Creo
Products Inc., is one of the top executives in the Israeli high-tech
industry. Prior to this position, he served as COO of Scitex
Corporation and played a key role in the company's turnaround in
1997-1998. In addition he has held various senior management
positions in the telecom and semiconductors industries.
Mr Meltzer's experience in leading global, international companies
will be a great advantage  to WizCom, in it's new strategy of
creating new and wider global markets. This is accentuated in light
of Wizcom's objectives in the cellular, PDA and enterprise markets
and in context of the focus on strategic partnerships with industry
leaders in these fields. Meltzer is quoted: "I am delighted at the
prospect of working with Wizcom's new management team. Wizcom's
technology and people are the platform from which we will make the
necessary changes to ensure   success"
Meir Shamir, WizCom's exiting chairman has been searching some
time for an appropriate candidate to take on the role of Wizcom's
business leadership. This has been a key element in the successful
implementation of Wizcom's new strategy. Shamir says: "Wizcom
possesses unparalleled technological and human assets. So far,
Wizcom, has not been successful in translating  these assets into
financial results that reflect this strength. This discrepancy
between the "dream" which was born with Quicktionary, and the current
business reality has been   disappointing to both founders and
investors alike. Wizcom's reorganization is all about setting this
straight. I am certain that the wealth of experience and business
acumen Mr. Meltzer brings to this position will assist in driving the
company in its new strategy. we  look forward to achieving the
success and the profitability which Wizcom deserves."
WizCom's third generation products, to be released in December of
this year, are targeted at the mobile phone and PDA markets. At this
time Wizcom is investing growing resources into its  Business
Development department as part of it's overall plan to penetrate
those markets.
