Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company determines its business segments and reports segment information in accordance with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) organizes the segments to evaluate performance, allocate resources and make business decisions. Segment results are based on the segment’s revenues and operating profit, where segment operating profit is defined as income from operations before unallocated costs. Expenses included in segment operating profit consist principally of direct selling and delivery costs as well as an allocation of certain shared services expenses. Certain expenses not directly attributable to or controllable at the segment level are not allocated to specific segments. Further, stock based compensation expense is not allocated to individual segments in internal management reports used by the CODM. These unallocated amounts are combined with total segment operating profit to arrive at consolidated income from operations as reported below in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to consolidated income before provision for income taxes.
The Company manages its business primarily based on the managerial responsibility for its client base. As managerial responsibility for a particular client relationship generally correlates with the client’s geographic location, there is a high degree of similarity between client locations and the geographic boundaries of the Company’s reportable segments. In some cases, managerial responsibility for a particular client is assigned to a management team in another region and is usually based on the strength of the relationship between client executives and particular members of EPAM’s senior management team. In such cases, the client’s activity would be reported through that management team’s reportable segment.
The Company’s reportable segments are North America, Europe, Russia and Other. The revenues in the Other segment represented less than 1% of total segment revenues in 2015 due to the ending of certain customer relationships and contractual changes with other clients. As no substantial clients remained in the segment, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company shifted managerial responsibility for the remaining clients to the Russia segment. This change did not represent a change in the Company’s segments but rather a movement in responsibility for several clients that represented less than 1% of total segment revenues.
Segment revenues from external customers and segment operating profit/(loss) for the North America, Europe, Russia and Other reportable segments were as follows:

Intersegment transactions were excluded from the above on the basis that they are neither included into the measure of a segment’s profit and loss by the CODM, nor provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
There were no customers individually exceeding 10% of our total segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, segment revenues from one customer, UBS AG, were $138,124 and $130,605, respectively and accounted for more than 10% of total segment revenues. Revenues from this customer are reported in the Company’s Europe segment.
Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues are generally dispersed across our clients in proportion to their revenues. As of December 31, 2017, unbilled revenues from one customer, individually exceeded 10% and accounted for 13.0% of our total unbilled revenues. As of December 31, 2016, unbilled revenues from two customers, individually exceeded 10% and accounted for 22.2% of our total unbilled revenues. There were no customers individually exceeding 10% of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Geographic Area Information
Long-lived assets include property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, and management has determined that it is not practical to allocate these assets by segment since such assets are used interchangeably among the segments. The Company’s long-lived assets based on physical location of the assets was as follows:
