Read Time: 3 minutes
Combining Cursor’s AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) with EPAM’s AI/Run™ delivery model, the partnership moves enterprises beyond experimental AI coding pilots and delivers measurable gains in productivity, sustainable quality, and an enhanced developer experience for thousands of engineers.
EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE: EPAM), a leading digital and AI transformation services company, today announced a strategic partnership with Cursor, a leading AI-powered development platform, to accelerate enterprise adoption of generative AI engineering. By combining EPAM’s proven expertise in large-scale technology implementation with Cursor’s success in AI-native coding solutions, the partnership enables organizations to streamline engineering workflows, reduce time-to-value, and deliver measurable business outcomes.
Supported by EPAM’s global network of more than 50,000 engineering professionals, along with team-level maturity models, reference rulesets, curated context, training programs, and productivity measurement, the collaboration provides a comprehensive solution for enterprises transforming into AI-native technology organizations.
“While most large enterprises have made some investment in AI coding tools, many teams struggle with full adoption and daily use,” said Dmitry Tovpeko, VP, AI-Native Engineering at EPAM. “Cursor’s AI-native IDE promotes disciplined use by incorporating rules, workflows, and agentic behavior directly into the developer’s primary workspace.”
Through this partnership, EPAM helps clients unlock the full potential of Cursor by enabling:
- Scaled AI-native workflows – Deploying Cursor across thousands of developers and integrating it seamlessly into complex enterprise ecosystems.
- Access to frontier capabilities – Leveraging Cursor’s rapid integration of leading-edge AI models and features to keep engineering teams at the forefront of innovation.
- Accelerated adoption – Delivering training, change management, and engineering excellence practices to help teams confidently transition from legacy tools to AI-first environments.
“We share EPAM’s perspective: the teams that achieve exceptional results are those that rethink how they work, not just the tools they use,” said Michael Scherr, Head of Business Development at Cursor. “By combining EPAM’s enterprise delivery expertise with our AI-native IDE and agents, we’re helping global clients scale the transformative potential of Cursor.”
As organizations seek to remain competitive in an increasingly AI-driven landscape, adopting AI-native approaches is becoming essential. Cursor’s rapid pace of AI innovation, paired with EPAM’s engineering DNA, enables clients to embrace next-generation software development workflows that deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, adoption, and return on investment.
Together, EPAM and Cursor are redefining how software is built—equipping developers with industry-leading tools and methodologies to thrive in the AI-native era.
