Artificial Intelligence Traction Should Support No-Moat EPAM's Performance
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.
