ITEM 8.01      OTHER EVENTS.

        On July 13, 2007, Comverse Technology, Inc. (the "Company") was informed
by Verint Systems Inc. ("Verint"), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company,
that Verint received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on
July 12, 2007 a copy of a Formal Order of Investigation relating to the stock
option grant practices of Witness Systems, Inc. (subsequently renamed Verint
Americas Inc.) ("Witness"). Witness, which was acquired by Verint on May 25,
2007, had received notice from the SEC on October 27, 2006 of an informal
non-public inquiry relating to its stock option grant practices from February 1,
2000 through the date of the notice. As disclosed by Verint in a Current Report
on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 16, 2007 (the "Verint Form 8-K"), Verint
believes that the focus of the formal investigation is substantially the same as
the informal inquiry. The Verint Form 8-K further indicates that Verint and
Witness have fully cooperated, and intend to continue to fully cooperate, with
the SEC regarding this matter.
