Press Release Summary: Lawrenceville, NJ - September 5, 2007 - EPAM Systems, Inc.,
the leading global software engineering outsourcing provider with offshore software
development centers in Central/Eastern Europe and Russia, announced today that EPAM
Russia Business Application Development Center has been independently assessed by
Software Engineering Institute-certified experts and rated at the Capability
Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 4.

Press Release Body: The EPAM development center in Belarus achieved this appraisal
in 2003 and was one of the pioneer software development organizations in Eastern
Europe with CMMI assessments. The attainment of this high rating by EPAM Russia sets
EPAM apart from its regional competitors in the number of certified development
locations.

The scope of the assessment included business application development, process
improvement and human resource functions. It was performed by a team headed by
Jacques Joubert, SEI authorized SCAMPI (Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process
Improvement) Lead Appraiser. RUSSEE, SEI Partner company, provided consulting
services.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Joubert noted: \"I was very pleased to assess the EPAM
organization where I found an ambience of friendship and productive collaboration. I
was first impressed by not only the commitment to success but also the matching
ability to execute, which is every bit as good as at Western Europe\'s leading
organizations where I am used to lead appraisals. For me EPAM\'s most impressive
achievement is the institutionalization of quantitative management in all aspects of
projects enforced through their internal SDLC tools and the large eco-system of
exceptional extensions from industry base-line systems. During the appraisal, I was
also particularly impressed by the professionalism of EPAM\'s SCAMPI team members.\"
