The Russian Infosys?
In a piece of news that will go mostly unread across the entire world Epam Systems agreed to merge (acquire) Fathom Technology. The press release is EPAM Systems Continues Expansion through Strategic Merger with Fathom Technology. Its been a long time in the making.
There will be 1 maybe 2 real powerhouses in the offshore programming business based on talent in the FSU. I believe that Epam is a contender for that position. Fathom's senior management is good and understands that they will never compete with India etc on price - it has to be quality and complexity. Time Warner Music's CIO got it right the other day when he commented that the competition was not $/hour, or people at a desk, or lines of code produced, but the quality of the programme at the end. If anyone knows any metric to measure that please let me know.
