Solution Overview

With rapidly evolving market conditions, businesses across every industry need to keep pace with the speed of technology and business change. Many companies want to adopt new ways of working and new technologies for better, faster, cheaper delivery. To do this, businesses need to understand the reality of their digital capabilities, where the gaps lie and how to fill them, as well as a strategic plan to match their vision.

But even this is not enough. Digital innovation requires top-quality engineering. Businesses need an optimized, agile, efficient engineering team to allow shorter lead times for delivering new features ahead of the competition,all while maintaining high quality and stability.

Depending on the maturity of the company’s value stream, EPAM’s Engineering Excellence offering may include conducting an initial assessment, creating a new operating model, optimally leveraging tools and metrics, and working with teams as the organization transforms into an adaptive, digitally-native enterprise.

Customer problem

Customers are facing strategic alignment issues between business and engineering objectives, leading to difficulty in managing transformational changes. Inconsistent delivery pipelines complicate the process, as do siloed departments that block collaboration. With an insufficient understanding of their digital competencies and gaps, companies struggle in the modern digital landscape. Outdated or legacy systems further augment these problems, obstructing the path to technological innovation and business growth.

EPAM Solution

As an integral component of the EPAM's Solution Suite, the EngX Assessment EVALUATES engineering practices and processes maturity against best engineering and delivery practices and PLANS a way to improve toward an efficient, faster, and better quality of delivery and customer satisfaction.

This comprehensive approach of EngX Assessment harnesses the power of precise identification and strategic planning, paving the way for the upcoming EngX Transformation that embodies a holistic transition towards consistent excellence and sustained improvement.
