The jury acknowledged Vasshus's holistic approach in leveraging opportunities that have led to the creation of scalable solutions, positioning Corporater as a competitive player in the international arena.

Vasshus emphasizes, "My goal was to create a values-driven company that redefines how business applications are built and utilized while leveraging its success to contribute positively to society."
Initially, Corporater concentrated on solutions related to performance management, Balanced Scorecard, and strategy execution. Over the years, the company has successfully expanded its operations internationally, diversifying its client base which now includes corporate organizations, and introduced Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions.
Today, Corporater stands as a leading global provider of software solutions combining GPRC, and has received recognition in various global market reports and research publications from top analysts, solidifying its reputation in the industry.
Vasshus attributes the success of Corporater to its foundational values of ethics, customer orientation, and servant leadership.

Moreover, the product has evolved from Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) to a comprehensive Business Management Platform (BMP), reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence.
A significant contributor to Corporater’s success has been its remarkable growth in the German market. Esteemed companies such as Telekom and Heidelberg Materials have become key clients, essential to the successful international expansion of Corporater. These partnerships exemplify the company’s capability to navigate complex business processes in one of Europe’s most substantial markets.
