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.

“We appreciate that Global Services recognizes EPAM among the top providers in several very important for our customer base categories,” says Arkadiy Dobkin, EPAM Systems CEO and President. “During the last years we focused on those specific areas and that recognition confirms that our targeted efforts and investments brought the expected results.  It also confirms our commitment to being a trusted technology partner for our clients, a partner who understands the business value of implementing the innovative technologies for its customers.”

“The global service provider landscape is increasingly getting complex; but buyers are looking at vendors with scale, skill, or both in delivering business outcomes and not cost-savings alone. The companies on the Global Services 100 list have demonstrated their ability to deliver complex solutions and services, manage global customers, and sustain successful financial performance,” says Ed Nair, Editor, Global Services.
