Newtown, PA — July 26, 2011 — EPAM Systems, Inc., a leading software engineering and IT Services provider with development centers across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), announced today that it was one of only two vendors named as “IT Services Leaders — Eastern Europe”, in addition to being named as one of the world's ten “Top Product Engineering Vendors” in the 2011 Global Services 100 rating, reaffirming EPAM's CEE leadership status in the software engineering services space. Marking its sixth consecutive appearance on the GS100 list, EPAM has also been named to the “Top Global Mid-Tier ITO Vendors” list.

The 2011 Global Services 100 is an annual global outsourcing industry ranking produced by Global Services, the outsourcing media house, in association with NeoGroup (formerly neoIT). Companies who participated in this survey were required to share detailed business information through an online survey for judging. The top 100 list and names in the categories were derived using a research methodology based on over 200 data points and several qualitative parameters, including clear Management Excellence, proven Customer Maturity, demonstrated advanced Global Delivery Maturity, and the ability to execute on a Broad Portfolio of Services.

“The global services industry has gone clearly beyond the paradigm of 'more work at lesser cost'. Companies are routinely seeking business outcomes, and in some cases, new forms of business value. Service providers who can deliver on these fronts make it to the GS100 and its categories,” said Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services.

“The firms that are recognized in the GS100 list show a higher level of focus on client needs, employee development and process improvement. They continue to be providers of choice in the market,” said Atul Vashistha, Founder and Chairman, NeoGroup.

“We thank Global Services and NeoGroup for recognizing EPAM among the top IT companies worldwide for six years in a row now”, said Arkadiy Dobkin, EPAM CEO and President. “We believe that the breadth and quality of our software engineering skills and IT services offerings, combined with our domain expertise across multiple industries, differentiates EPAM as a leader — not just amongst Eastern Europe's services providers — but also on a global level. It is really exciting for us to see this being confirmed once again by the Global Services 100 study.”
