Princeton, NJ – January 18, 2005 – EPAM (www.epam.com),
the leading provider of outsourced software engineering with development centers
in Eastern Europe, announced today that it has been named to the Annual Offshore
100 ranking of top global suppliers by CMP’s Managing Offshore and offshore
outsourcing advisory expert neoIT.
“neoIT and Managing Offshore created the Offshore 100 to identify the global
universe of ITO and BPO suppliers,” noted Managing Offshore’s Editor
Rusty Weston. Over 250 data points were analyzed from a wide range of service providers
that included large multi-national firms, emerging BPO providers and small domestic
IT services firms. The data points were clustered in four categories that included
general company information, client data, operational capabilities and human resource
policies. Respondents to the survey included firms from 13 countries around the
world representing many of the most popular offshoring destinations.
“EPAM Systems has focused on becoming the leading provider of quality software
engineering services utilizing its Eastern European development centers since its
inception in 1993. We are glad to see a confirmation of our strong position in the
region by being recognized as number one of “Top 5 To Watch in Central &
Eastern Europe”. We are also especially proud to be named to the third place
of “Top 10 Specialty Application Development Leaders” where EPAM was
compared with an array of great companies from all around the world”, said
Arkadiy Dobkin, EPAM CEO. “I am sure this listing, resulting from a detailed
research conducted by independent experts, will benefit both the global suppliers
who get additional visibility and the customers who often name the right vendor
selection among the major challenges of outsourcing projects and who now will be
able to make more reasonable choices and accurate decisions.”
