Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched.

But just as the engine from a Fiat can slow down a Ferrari, the older versions of these browsers rob Wrike of its natural power. That’s why, in case you prefer Internet Explorer, we recommend you use IE version 9 or higher. And the same goes for the other browsers – the newer, the better!
