(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Newtown, PA - August 14, 2012 - EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a global
software engineering and IT Outsourcing (ITO) provider with development centers
across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and Hotels.com today reaffirmed EPAM's
status as a Hotels.com strategic delivery partner. Working alongside

Since 2007, EPAM has been working with Hotels.com on an expanding set of
initiatives ranging from online customer experience optimization and
localization, to mobile and location-based services. The combination of EPAM's
travel industry expertise, tailored agile approach, and the geographical

evolved over time to support a portfolio of points of sale around the world.
The combined efforts of the Hotels.com and EPAM teams has resulted in
significant gains in the quality of the customer experience, increased online
revenue and an overall improvement in the stability and performance of the
technology platform.
"We constantly track metrics on our multiple vendors and EPAM consistently
achieves high scores in assessment of the teams' average experience, seniority,
level of English language skills, low staff turnover and in their ability to
scale as we need to add resources to meet our growing demands and to adapt to
our changing needs of technology skills. Overall the flexibility, agility,
domain and soft skills are a significant differentiator that allows us to
continue to build out our strong product offering and grow the overall
business", said Scott Booker President, Hotels.com Worldwide.
"We are proud that Hotels.com continues to choose EPAM for its global online
commerce platform development needs", said Arkadiy Dobkin, CEO of EPAM.
