NEWWORK Software Wins 2026 Global Recognition Award for Enterprise AI Innovation 

NEWWORK Software Inc. has received a 2026 Global Recognition Award in the Innovation category for its approach to governed AI execution across enterprise systems. 

NEWWORK builds an Agent Operating system and Digital workers that execute business processes across the systems companies already use. Rather than replacing ERP, CRM, HR, finance, or service management platforms, the NEWWORK Digital Workforce Platform works across them, connecting processes while keeping execution governed and enterprise data secure. 

“NEWWORK Software Inc. didn’t just build another AI assistant; it built the governance and execution infrastructure that enterprise AI has lacked since the category began, and that is precisely the kind of structural innovation this award exists to recognize,” said Alex Sterling of Global Recognition Awards. 

From assistance to governed execution 

Enterprise AI today can answer questions, generate content, or recommend what should happen next. But when a process crosses systems, people are still responsible for carrying much of that work forward and ensuring that data stays secure. 

NEWWORK was built to close that gap. Launched in June 2026, the NEWWORK Digital Workforce Platform provides an execution layer across existing enterprise systems, allowing digital workers to gather information, initiate actions, route approvals, manage exceptions, and move processes forward across applications, with minimal human oversight. 

What makes that execution possible at an enterprise level is governance. Organizations define what a digital worker is allowed to do, which systems and data it can access, and where human approval is required. NEWWORK FLOWs provide a traceable record of actions and decisions, creating visibility into how work was executed from beginning to end. 

Data security is built into the same model. Enterprise data remains protected within the governed environment, giving organizations control over how their information is accessed and used. The result isn’t giving AI more autonomy. It’s giving enterprises AI that can act while remaining governed, traceable, and secure. 

Built around the systems companies already have

Enterprise technology stacks have been built over decades and replacing them isn’t always realistic or necessary. NEWWORK works with existing infrastructure, coordinating work across applications while maintaining the principles the platform was built around: governance, sovereignty, and data security. 

Organizations can start with NEWWORK Value Packs, pre-built foundations for specific workflows that are configured around their systems, policies, and business requirements. Instead of beginning with a large-scale transformation, companies can start with a defined process, put it into production, measure the results, and expand from there. 

Why the award matters

Global Recognition Awards receives approximately 15,000 entries each year, with 5.8% of applicants receiving recognition. NEWWORK was recognized for bringing AI execution, governance, policy enforcement, and enterprise integration together within a single architecture. 

The recognition comes as enterprise AI moves into its next phase. Companies have spent the last few years exploring what AI can generate and recommend. The next challenge is putting AI to work while answering the questions that matter to enterprises: What can it access? What is it allowed to do? Where does a human stay in control? And how is sensitive company data protected? 

Those questions are central to why NEWWORK was built. 

With offices in Palo Alto, Berlin and Romania, NEWWORK is building a digital workforce that can operate across the systems enterprises already rely on, execute complex processes from end to end, and do so within the governance and security boundaries of the business. 

The future of enterprise AI isn’t just AI that can do more. It’s AI that enterprises can trust to do more. That’s what NEWWORK is building.
