EPAM’s Leadership of Central & Eastern European Software Services Sector Reconfirmed by IAOP's 2010 Global Outsourcing 100 Ranking

Newtown, PA — May 4, 2010 — EPAM Systems, Inc., the leading software engineering and IT Outsourcing (ITO) provider in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), has been selected once again by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) to the list of the world’s best outsourcing service providers – The Global Outsourcing 100. EPAM’s fifth consecutive inclusion in the ranking, as the highest rated Central & Eastern European provider, reaffirms EPAM’s regional leadership as well as global competitiveness. Further testimony to EPAM’s growing global recognition comes from its inclusion in additional sub-list rankings, such as “Best 10 Leaders in Revenue Growth” and “Best 10 Leaders by Industry Focus – Entertainment & Media”.

The Global Outsourcing 100 list is based on the results of a rigorous review of the companies’ competencies conducted by the Evaluation Team of judges. "As the economy recovers, partnering with the world's best outsourcing providers will be more important than ever," said Michael Corbett, IAOP chairman and chair of the judges' panel. "The Global Outsourcing 100® helps companies easily identify those partners who will help them emerge as leaders." EPAM has earned the highest scores in such key areas as Employee Management (maximum 8 pts), Sustained Growth, Executive Leadership, Customer References, and Company Recognitions.

“In a year that was challenging for most, being able to confirm our position among the global leaders demonstrates our clients' trust in EPAM’s top quality service capabilities, as well as in our financial stability and maturity, that allowed us to share mutual risks during those difficult times and still to grow together,” said Arkadiy Dobkin, President and CEO of EPAM Systems. “We look forward to capitalizing on this new level of partnership further during this much more optimistic 2010”.
