EPAM announced a multi-year partnership with Anthropic: what this collaboration entails

The partnership offers customers a robust path to simplifying complex legacy operations, automating workflows, analyzing large data sets, and improving overall operational efficiency through EPAM's proven engineering expertise and Anthropic's advanced Claude models, including Claude Code and Claude Agent SDK.

As part of the program, EPAM is building a core practice that will include over 10,000 certified architects with knowledge of Claude models, including 250 specialized Black Belt engineers who will work directly on projects.

To date, over 1,300 architects have been certified; by the end of the third quarter, this number will increase to 5,000, with thousands more joining in 2027. In addition, over 20,000 EPAM employees have already successfully completed training at the Anthropic Academy.

“As companies seek to quickly lay the foundation for enterprise-wide autonomous AI adoption across multiple verticals, the demand for service providers with expertise in complex engineering has increased significantly. EPAM’s robust engineering methodologies, proven project delivery approach, and applied AI practices, combined with Anthropic’s advanced models and agent tools, provide clients with a powerful path to innovative AI-native solutions. This allows them to move from the experimental stage to a true AI-native enterprise, providing a distinct market advantage for sustainable growth,” the company said .

Recall that EPAM presented a report on its results for the first quarter of 2026 - the company's revenue amounted to $1.400 billion, which is 7.6% more than in the same period last year.
