EPAM and OpenAI Partner to Help Enterprises Unlock Operational Resilience and Frontier Experiences Through Applied AI
By leveraging a common AI-native engineering foundation and a dedication to improved operational resilience, EPAM will transform OpenAI's models into scalable, agentic solutions and unique experiences for enterprises worldwide.
For most organizations, identifying where AI can improve processes is no longer the challenge; it's how to implement AI safely, at scale and in a way that delivers measurable business value.
To enable enterprises to securely move projects from pilot to production, EPAM announced it has joined the OpenAI Partner Network, a select group of global partners with AI leadership across systems integration, management consulting, technology and data. The strategic move leverages EPAM’s proven, certified engineering talent and deep domain expertise to deploy OpenAI’s models into regulated, mission-critical environments. As part of the partnership, EPAM will train and develop specialized forward-deployed engineers globally, certifying more than 5,000 consultants with 10,000+ credentials in the first year.
A Common Engineering Foundation, Built to Scale Across the Ecosystem
Every AI solution EPAM brings to market is built on the same foundations: scalable enterprise deployment, an AI-native software development lifecycle, cybersecurity embedded across the full AI lifecycle and forward-deployed engineers who work hands-on, on-site, with clients. It's this foundation, combined with our partners’ intelligent model capabilities, that enables EPAM to quickly and safely move clients from pilot to production.
- Enterprise Deployment — secure, scalable infrastructure across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
- AI-native SDLC — AI is woven through the entire lifecycle, from discovery to production.
- Cyber-Resilience — defensive and offensive security embedded across the entire AI lifecycle.
- Forward-Deployed Engineers — engineering experts embedded on-site for client-specific context, delivery speed and real-time assurance.
These engineering foundations come to life through EPAM’s AI/Run™.Transform™, our proprietary playbook for turning frontier AI capabilities into repeatable enterprise value. By combining this approach with AI assistants and agentic workflows, EPAM helps enterprises scale secure, production-ready solutions across the software development lifecycle and beyond.
Powering Frontier Customer Experience
While anchored in this same foundation, the OpenAI relationship is propelled by a specific ambition: giving brands the operating architecture to deliver brand-differentiating experiences to their most important stakeholders - their customers - at enterprise scale.
- Automate and optimize internal workflows, helping teams spot inefficiencies, improve decision-making and focus on higher-value activities.
- Connect internal data across systems and teams, giving the business a more complete view of operations and making information easier to find and use
- Turn differentiated experience into a measurable growth lever through loyalty, market share and revenue
- Bridge the gap between consumer AI and enterprise transformation, bringing the fluency people already expect from ChatGPT into business-critical moments.
- Build the foundations for continuous innovation, so experiences evolve as OpenAI's models, modalities and capabilities advance.
- Monitor for compliance, flagging anomalies, policy breaches or operational risks
Accelerating AI-Native Transformation
For EPAM clients, the advantage is direct: working with a service provider that has the deep knowledge and expertise needed to deploy the right agentic AI technology for the right business need. That kind of guidance gives clients a clear path to move from AI strategy to real-world results. EPAM has already helped organizations, such as leading telecommunications provider 1&1, turn emerging technology into practical business outcomes with OpenAI.
EPAM’s creative and technical fluency delivers agentic AI technology that is embedded into how client teams are trained and certified, how delivery workflows operate, how systems are secured and what their engineering organizations can build next.
