"We're honored to be recognized for helping clients successfully modernize platforms, unlock the value of their data and adopt AI-driven solutions as a dual 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year award winner," said Alexandros Katsioulis, VP, Global Google Business at EPAM. "This achievement reflects our commitment to accelerating business transformation, efficiency and sustainability through our proven Google Cloud and AI expertise."

• The Services & Industry Solutions: Sustainability award recognizes EPAM's use of AI and geospatial technology on Google Cloud to address environmental challenges and set a new standard for ethical, responsible technology use in environmental stewardship. Built with Vertex AI, Gemini and Google Earth Engine, EPAM won for leveraging its Cooperative Geospatial Attention Platform, which enables organizations in Alaska to coordinate efforts against invasive species across fragmented land ownership based on verifiable, anticipated risk.

• The Databases: EMEA award distinguishes EPAM's client impact on transforming enterprise migration at scale and maintaining operational excellence by leveraging its engineering heritage and vast technical expertise in Google Cloud's Database Migration Service (DMS). A repeatable, scalable methodology was developed to help one of Europe's leading financial institutions, Deutsche Bank, accelerate its cloud migrations, align with cloud-native principles, and reduce total cost of ownership. Through this collaboration, EPAM enhanced the DMS tooling, benefitting the entire Google Cloud ecosystem and making enterprise database modernization more accessible and successful even in the most complex, regulated environments.

These recognitions reinforce EPAM's long-standing strategic collaboration with Google Cloud and highlight its ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions that advance cloud journeys and create powerful digital experiences. The Company recently expanded its 360-degree collaboration, spanning engineering, solutions and go-to-market strategies, by launching several advanced AI agents on Google Cloud Marketplace to deliver high-impact solutions across industries.
