EPAM Systems Achieves Dual Recognition at Google Cloud Partner Awards

EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM) has recently announced a significant milestone by securing two prestigious awards at the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year celebrations. This recognition emphasizes EPAM's commitment to aiding clients in achieving transformative business outcomes through cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud solutions.

In a statement, Alexandros Katsioulis, the VP at EPAM and Global Google Business lead, expressed gratitude for the recognition, highlighting their role in assisting clients to modernize platforms and leverage their data effectively. "We’re honored to be recognized for helping clients successfully modernize platforms, unlock the value of their data, and adopt AI-driven solutions," stated Katsioulis.

The awards showcased EPAM's innovative efforts in two key areas:

1. Sustainability Award: Addressing Environmental Challenges

The Services Industry Solutions Sustainability award was bestowed on EPAM for employing AI and geospatial technology on Google Cloud to tackle environmental issues responsibly. A prominent feature of this achievement is the Cooperative Geospatial Attention Platform. This platform, developed with Vertex AI, Gemini, and Google Earth Engine, provides essential tools for organizations in Alaska to effectively combat invasive species. By offering strategies based on verifiable risk assessments over fragmented lands, EPAM has set a new ethical standard in technological use for environmental stewardship.

2. Database EMEA Award: Enhancing Enterprise Migration

EPAM also earned recognition with the Databases EMEA award for its impactful work in transforming enterprise migration processes at scale. Leveraging its rich engineering heritage and expertise in Google Cloud's Database Migration Service (DMS), EPAM developed a repeatable methodology that facilitated rapid cloud migrations for Deutsche Bank, one of Europe’s foremost financial institutions. This initiative not only aligned with cloud-native principles but also significantly reduced overall costs, showcasing EPAM's technical prowess and commitment to operational excellence.

"This achievement reflects our commitment to accelerating business transformation, efficiency, and sustainability through our proven Google Cloud and AI expertise," stated Katsioulis.

The significance of these awards is underlined by EPAM's long-term strategic collaboration with Google Cloud, as they emphasize delivering innovative solutions that enhance cloud journeys and create robust digital experiences for clients. Recently, EPAM amplified its collaborative efforts by launching several advanced AI agents on the Google Cloud Marketplace, aimed at providing impactful solutions across various sectors.

Kevin Ichhpurani, President of Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels at Google Cloud, praised the collaborative efforts, stating, "The Google Cloud Partner Awards honor the strategic innovation and measurable value our partners bring to customers. We are proud to name EPAM a 2026 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, celebrating their role in driving customer success over the last year."
