Disruptive technology is shaking up the industry one ground-breaking technology at a time. From automation to predictive analytics — the solutions available have the power to enhance the productivity within every industry. Thinking outside the box to solve complex problems that arise as organizations grow and expand gives them a competitive edge, and allows for room to grow. Recognizing this type of forward-thinking is one of the ways to propel progressive innovation and creativity.

What are the Supernova Awards?

Influencers who are paving the way toward implementing disruptive technology are celebrated with the Supernova Awards. Those who aren’t afraid of diving head first into the great unknown, taking a leap of faith and embarking on a transformational digital journey.

The Supernova awards, established through Constellation Research, is the first and only award to celebrate leaders who are applying disruptive technologies to their organizations in order to enhance the digital experience for customers and employees. These leaders can be found in almost every industry, from finance to agriculture. They have solved an industry problem that was hard to crack with a forward-thinking strategy or partnership.

Disruptive technology is all about defining the status quo — essentially paving the way for a new frontier of business solutions.

We were excited to learn that Ralph Borer from our customer Roche, won the Supernova award for Future of Work: Employee Experience. WalkMe’s solution helped to simplify the employee experience at Roche, enabling their team to experience higher productivity and efficiency rates.
