Artificial Intelligence Traction Should Support No-Moat EPAM's Performance
Business Strategy and Outlook
EPAM Systems is an IT services provider that focuses on workflows at the upstream of the IT services value chain—consulting, application development, and system integration. Unlike full-service IT providers such as Cognizant and Accenture, when EPAM was founded, the company did not have the resources to run lower-end services like business process outsourcing. Both of EPAM’s founders were originally from Belarus, and they had the vision to build EPAM into a software engineering hub, leveraging the large STEM talent pool across former Soviet Union countries, most notably Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine.
