2024 was a year of significant transformation for Here™ – literally. Anchored by the debut of our new brand and identity and the exciting launch of our Here™ Enterprise Browser – the world’s first browser purpose-built for work – we reinforced our commitment to simplifying workflow complexity, minimizing inefficiencies and delivering seamless digital experiences for knowledge workers across industries.
Here™ Enterprise Browser has redefined how companies approach productivity and security challenges, equipping them with next-gen tools proven to improve outcomes, increase employee happiness and prepare for the future of work. In short, we’ve set a new standard for knowledge worker efficiency – and we’re just getting started.
A Natural Evolution
The launch of Here™ Enterprise Browser represented a pivotal moment for our business. This reimagined offering was partly a reflection of our expansion into industries beyond financial services, where we (operating under our previous name, OpenFin) had established a strong reputation for developing an industry-leading software container and outstanding workflow solutions.
While we are proud of our heritage in finance, Here™ empowers knowledge workers across sectors — from traders to call center agents to government employees — by providing universal benefits around streamlined workflows and interoperability. Our rebrand also represented an acknowledgment that browsers are the primary way that knowledge workers access the tools and information necessary to do their jobs, and that delivering an optimal browser experience would be the fastest, most impactful way to help them achieve their full potential.
With features like Supertabs, which consolidate and organize essential tools without altering their interfaces, and Deep Search, which enables seamless information retrieval across multiple applications, Here™ Enterprise Browser delivers unparalleled workflow enhancements. In addition, our dedicated Notification Center ensures critical alerts can be acted upon immediately, reducing distractions and increasing efficiency. With these tools experiencing rapid adoption across sectors, we’re making material progress toward unlocking a new era of enterprise productivity.
Meeting Modern Workplace Challenges
Today’s fast-paced digital landscape demands tools that align with the needs of modern enterprises. Traditional browsers, designed for casually surfing the public internet, are no longer sufficient for companies looking to scale and maintain a competitive edge. Here™ Enterprise Browser™ tackles their most pressing productivity challenges, such as application overload. By consolidating disparate systems into a single, intuitive interface, we enhance productivity while also ensuring operational resilience, enabling organizations to adapt swiftly to evolving demands.
In addition, by reducing tab clutter and toggling, streamlining searches and delivering apps and data exactly where and when they are needed, Here™ Enterprise Browser serves to improve knowledge worker experiences – and, by extension, those of the end-client too. These innovations directly support employee satisfaction and retention, an absolutely critical priority in today’s competitive enterprise environment.
A Secure Foundation
Just as it was under our former name, security remains a cornerstone of Here™ Enterprise Browser. Built on Google Chromium, Here™ Enterprise Browser features a zero-trust security architecture that leading global banks, government agencies and other large organizations can rely on. With features like centralized administration, authenticated access and smart controls to prevent data loss, Here™ ensures robust protection of your organization’s sensitive data.
Our commitment to maintaining the highest security standards is unwavering, offering peace of mind in an era when cybersecurity threats are ever-present and data integrity is paramount.
Charting the Path Ahead
With a strong legacy in finance and now proven success in government and contact centers, we’re eager to write the next chapter in 2025. We are poised to expand into sectors like healthcare, aviation, travel and lodging and beyond. Knowledge workers in these fields face common challenges: rapidly resolving customer complaints, navigating siloed systems, carrying out complex multi-step processes and more. Here™ Enterprise Browser can streamline their workflows and enhance their productivity just as it has in other sectors.
Looking ahead, our vision is clear: to revolutionize work by delivering the enterprise browser that provides both security and productivity. With a commitment to our customers and ambitious plans for expansion, Here™ is not just keeping pace with the future of work — we're shaping it. This will be especially true as organizations navigate the challenges of hybrid workforce management, the increasing demand for real-time data accessibility, the integration of AI-driven decision-making and beyond.
To our clients, partners and followers: thank you for our most exciting year yet. Here’s to another year of innovation, progress and defining the workplace of tomorrow!
