EPAM Systems, a leading Central and Eastern European ITO provider, has expanded into Sweden opening an office in Stockholm. The new office will be the first of several offices in Scandinavia providing onshore consulting and support to its Nordics clients, while enhancing EDS’s nenarshore delivery capabilities.

Karl Robb, Executive VP and President of EPAM Europe, commented: "The adoption of offshore and nearshore services is growing in Scandinavia. Adding a solid Scandinavian presence of domain consultants, technical engagement leaders, and project managers, reflects EPAM’s balanced approach to nearshore service delivery. Several members of EPAM’s senior management team have lived and worked in Sweden for many years, as have a handful of our senior nearshore delivery leaders — so EPAM knows the culture, the processes, and the language and believes that this model will provide the ideal alternative to distant Offshoring and organizations heavily biased towards onshore services.”
