Key Findings & Highlights:
Previously, EPAM had located its IoT services capabilities within its Embedded and IoT service line. In 2017, the company changed this structure, reflecting the fact that it had expanded its IoT service portfolio from device design, connectivity, and embedded systems towards UX, IoT applications, and analytics. It, therefore, created an IoT CoE that is under the responsibility of the CTO office. EPAM's IoT CoE oversees IoT contract opportunities, solutioning, and aggregating delivery capabilities across EPAM.
The majority of EPAM's IoT clients are in travel and consumer (EPAM's second largest sector, worth 22% of its revenues), in life science and healthcare (8% of revenues), and within its "emerging" automotive sector.
Key IoT clients include Adidas, Schlumberger, Chevron, Vodafone, Mars Drinks, Edmunds.com, Philips DoseWise (Unfors RaySafe), Google, ThyssenKrupp, Komatsu’s Modular Mining, Keurig, Penske, McLaren Applied Technologies, and Siemens AG Hospital of the Future.
EPAM's value proposition in IoT services relies on several pillars, including the excellence of its delivery team in Central and Eastern Europe, its creation of complementary accelerators, and its growing involvement in the open source community.
