EPAM has launched partnerships with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to train and certify specialists to work with Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini AI models.

AI is blurring traditional frontend and backend boundaries, enabling skilled programmers to work with multiple languages with AI assistance.

EPAM is building a robust, model-agnostic AI services capability to meet diverse client needs across regulated and business-critical environments.

AI agents and internal tools are being deployed to streamline processes like client RFP analysis and parallelized software development, cutting cycle times.

There is a shift in IT skill requirements due to AI, emphasizing business context understanding and delivering production-ready solutions beyond pure coding.

AI is a fundamental shift in IT services, including cybersecurity, where modern models can rapidly identify vulnerabilities and speed remediation.

EPAM is pursuing a diversified approach by partnering with Google for Gemini and building capabilities across multiple AI models rather than relying on a single platform.

In the Anthropic program, EPAM has trained over 5,000 Claude Code architects and aims to exceed 10,000 globally among its staff.

EPAM plans to certify more than 5,000 consultants and secure over 10,000 related credentials in the first year of its OpenAI partnership, targeting deployment in regulated environments.
