HERE Wins CIO Review’s "Enterprise Browser of the Year 2025"Learn morechevron_right

The Enterprise Browser Is No Longer an “OR” Conversation — It’s an “AND” One

Share article:

Security AND productivity. Control AND experience. IT efficiency AND employee enablement.

For years, the enterprise browser conversation has been framed as a tradeoff. Security or speed...Control or flexibility...IT needs or user experience.

In 2025, that framing finally broke. What this past year made incredibly clear is that the future of the enterprise browser is not “or.” It’s “and.”

It’s not just about locking things down. It’s about unlocking how work actually gets done.

Everything we saw this year, from customer deployments to analyst conversations to real-world usage patterns—pointed to the same truth...

...the enterprise browser must deliver security, user experience, and productivity all at the same time.

Not sequentially... Not as an extension... Not as compromises.
All at once.

Fit for Purpose: Why Role-Based Browsing Finally Matters

One of the biggest shifts we observed this year is that enterprises are no longer looking for “a browser.” They’re looking for the right browser for the right role.

A trader, a developer, a contact center agent, a compliance officer, and a knowledge worker do not work the same way—and they should not be forced into the same generic browsing experience.

That’s where HERE is fundamentally different.

HERE is not a one-size-fits-all browser. It’s a role-based enterprise browser platform, built to adapt to:

That fit-for-purpose approach is what enables the real “AND” value:

  • Security AND usability
  • Governance AND workflow speed
  • Standardization AND personalization

The HERE Productivity Superpowers

HERE is a full enterprise browser platform with a deep set of capabilities across security, governance, identity, application management, and controls. But over the past year, four capabilities consistently stood out—not because they are the only things we do, but because they supercharge everything else.

1.Interop: The Invisible Infrastructure of Workflow

Interop allows applications to talk to each other, share context, and behave like a single connected system—rather than a maze of disconnected tabs.

With HERE’s message bus, customers can: synchronize context across applications, automate cross-app workflows, eliminate swivel-chair operations, reduce repetitive manual actions, and maintain data consistency across systems.

Interop turns the browser from a viewing surface into an operating layer for work.

2. SuperSearch: Real-Time Enterprise Intelligence

Enterprise data is only valuable when it’s discoverable at the exact moment decisions are made.

SuperSearch unifies internal applications, external data sources, documents, systems of record, and structured and unstructured information into a single, contextual search experience inside the browser.

3. AI Center: From Passive Tools to Active, Governed Workflows

AI is everywhere. But in most enterprises today, it still sits outside the flow of work, separated from live applications, enterprise context, and governance.

AI Center changes that by embedding AI directly into the execution layer of the browser.

Instead of forcing users to prompt, copy, paste, and context-switch between tools, AI Center is:

  • Natively embedded into live enterprise workflows
  • Aware of application context, user role, and task state
  • Able to act across interoperable systems
  • Governed by enterprise security and policy controls

And critically, AI Center is model-agnostic by design. Enterprises and users can:

  • Access multiple AI models from a single interface
  • Choose the right model for the right task
  • Balance performance, privacy, cost, and regulatory needs
  • Avoid vendor lock-in as the AI landscape evolves

This gives organizations choice without chaos—innovation without sacrificing control.

With AI Center, enterprises are beginning to:

  • Turn prompts into context-aware actions
  • Trigger AI-powered workflows
  • Automate routine decisions
  • Surface insights exactly when and where they’re needed
  • Execute across systems without breaking security boundaries

AI is no longer adjacent to work. It becomes part of the workflow itself—safely, flexibly, and at scale.

4. Supertabs: Focus as a First-Class Productivity Primitive

Knowledge workers don’t suffer from a lack of tools—they suffer from too many surfaces open at once.

Supertabs transform how work is organized inside the browser by allowing users to group entire workflows—not just individual tabs, instantly switch between task contexts, reduce tab sprawl and cognitive overload, and maintain focus across complex, multi-app workflows.

Supertabs don’t just improve organization. They restore focus at enterprise scale.

Why the “AND” Model Matters Even More in an Agentic AI World

As AI evolves from copilots into agents, the browser becomes the control plane for execution.

Agentic AI requires:

  • Live application interoperability
  • Unified enterprise context
  • Built-in policy enforcement
  • Secure execution at runtime

This is exactly what HERE's interoperability, SuperSearch, Supertabs and AI Center were designed to enable—together.

The browser is no longer just where work is viewed. It is where work is:

  • Interpreted
  • Orchestrated
  • Automated
  • Governed
  • And accelerated

AI agents cannot safely operate in disconnected systems. They require a unified, governed execution surface—and that surface is the enterprise browser.

The enterprise browser is now a business platform

Security AND AI. AI AND productivity. Productivity AND experience. Experience AND governance.

The next era of enterprise software will not be defined by individual tools. It will be defined by platforms that unify security, intelligence, and execution at the point of work. That future runs through the enterprise browser built for work...that enterprise browser is HERE.
