EPAM Named Winner and Finalist in 2026 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards

EPAM has been named Winner of the 2026 Microsoft Country Partner of the Year Award for Switzerland and a Finalist in two additional categories, Agents and Retail & Consumer Goods. The recognition follows the May 2026 launch of a dedicated Microsoft Business Group, a structural investment designed to give EPAM sharper industry focus, deeper resourcing and end-to-end accountability in how it brings Microsoft technology to clients worldwide.

Microsoft's Country and Category Partner of the Year Awards recognize organizations that have shown excellence in innovation and delivery using Microsoft technology over the past year. In Switzerland, that excellence has played out inside some of the country's most regulated and demanding industries where EPAM has helped clients move from early AI experiments to systems running in daily production.

Across all three nominations, one theme stands out. EPAM operates as Client Zero for Microsoft's frontier technology, building and running its own production AI systems before bringing that same capability to clients. EPAM's internal presales engine, built entirely on Microsoft's platform, is one example where EPAM's work with Microsoft starts inside its own operations before it ever reaches a client.
