EPAM Reconfirms Its Leadership Position Among Outsourcing Vendors in Central and Eastern Europe by Being the Sole Regional Provider Included Into ''2007 Top 50 Best Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors'' by Brown-Wilson Group



    EPAM Systems, Inc., the leading global offshore software
    engineering outsourcing provider with development centers in Central
    and Eastern Europe, for the second year running has made the list of
    the annual "2007 Top 50 Best Managed Global Outsourcing Vendors"
    compiled by Brown-Wilson Group, a not-for-profit outsourcing
    management consulting firm, author of "The Black Book of Outsourcing".
    Singled out from the pool of 1480 qualified global outsourcing
    companies, the current year rankings identify the top 50 vendors via
    scoring as assessed by the clients and incorporate the results of The
    Black Book's electronic survey. The study was conducted with the
    purpose to draw out the outsourcing service purchasers' experience
    with regard to service providers globally.

    EPAM's clients responded that the company is their top-choice
    provider for the second year running. With majority of its development
    workforce located across Central and Eastern Europe (including Russia,
    Belarus, Hungary, and Ukraine), EPAM is the only regional outsourcing
    service provider who has retained a consecutive 2007 inclusion into
    the 50 Best Managed rating. Having demonstrated consistent strength in
    four survey areas such as human capital performance, C-Level
    commitment, corporate direction, and leadership impact, the company
    has been specifically commended for responsiveness to the client
    needs, which "sets EPAM apart as the top-ranking Russian outsourcing
    company." EPAM has also been noted as a "leading choice with IT
    offshore development buyers" with "strong consultative approach in
    solving engagement issues."

    Besides naming the 50 best managed outsourcing vendors, the study,
    recognized as the only industry standard for unbiased customer
    satisfaction in the global services market, also delves into industry
    trends and client-vendor relationships and serves as a guide for the
    companies that are shopping for an outsourcing supplier, as well as
    for the suppliers helping them identify weaknesses and areas for
    growth. Brown-Wilson Group, in coordination with its research effort,
    ranked outsourcing vendors according to responses by nearly 17,000
    executives and others involved in outsourcing decision-making about
    their experience and satisfaction with their current suppliers. The
    survey participation was voluntary and anonymous.

    A closer look at leading outsourcing vendors as identified by the
    "The Black Book of Outsourcing" study -- including the top-ranked
    outsourcing advisors and the most desirable locations for outsourcing
    -- has been published in the Dow Jones flagship publication, The Wall
    Street Journal Online.

    "Reconfirming our status of one of the best 50 global outsourcing
    vendors named to the list together with many undisputable market
    leaders is a great honor for us," stated Arkadiy Dobkin, EPAM CEO and
    President. "Our clients' recognition reflected in the survey results
    attests to EPAM's strong capabilities to deliver optimal business
    value that extends beyond the cost-saving benefits associated with IT
    outsourcing from Russia and other locations in Central and Eastern
    Europe."
