Polaris Office and Polaris AI Handy Target Public Sector with KAMCO Reference

Polaris Office and Polaris AI Handy are set to expand their presence in the web document drafting software market for the public, financial, and large enterprise sectors, leveraging their implementation experience with Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO).

On September 10, Polaris Office and Polaris AI Handy announced that, through the web document drafting solution developed for KAMCO, they had validated essential functions required in actual work environments—such as font integration, handling of HWP (Hancom Word Processor) data, and document comparison capabilities—and will move to expand their supply.

The "Polaris Web Drafting Solution" from Polaris Office leverages WebAssembly (WASM) technology, enabling the document engine to run directly in the web browser. This reduces reliance on separate document conversion/filter servers, easing the burden of server setup and operation and allowing companies to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) from initial deployment through ongoing maintenance.

By combining Polaris AI Handy's "Hybrid Drafting Solution," compatibility with traditional PC environments has also been strengthened. During the KAMCO implementation, the system was designed to load over 170 locally installed fonts and more than 1 gigabyte (GB) of data in under 0.5 seconds.

The companies also improved the issue of data loss that can occur during copy-and-paste operations from Korean word processors on PCs by implementing direct processing of HWP data. The solution supports key shortcut functions commonly used in traditional PC environments, as well as document comparison features for checking differences between originals and edited versions.

The two companies explained that by providing customization for groupware and electronic approval systems, and offering on-site technical support, they have enhanced both compatibility and user convenience for actual work tasks.

The company emphasized that the KAMCO project served to validate web drafting technology that can reduce reliance on specific office products, while maintaining compatibility with existing work environments.

Building on the KAMCO reference, both companies plan to expand supply to public agencies, local governments, financial companies, and large enterprises. Starting with the web drafting solution, they intend to broaden their business scope to encompass a wide range of enterprise document solutions—including web office, document viewers, and converters—while gradually integrating AI-driven functions for document creation, search, and workflow automation.

Haeseok Lee, Head of Business Division at Polaris Office and CEO of Polaris AI Handy, stated, "The competitiveness of our web drafting solution extends beyond simple features and technical specifications—what matters is how reliably we resolve issues encountered in clients' complex work environments. Throughout the KAMCO project, we resolved a variety of challenges—including font integration, HWP data handling, and document comparison—fully validating our technological and operational capabilities."

He added, "With the operational efficiency of a WASM-based web drafting solution and the compatibility provided by the hybrid drafting tool, we will offer new options to public sector and enterprise clients. Using this as a bridgehead, we plan to further expand the reach of our enterprise document solutions."

Meanwhile, Polaris Group plans to strengthen its AX (Application Experience) business by combining Polaris Office's document software and AI technology, Polaris AI Handy's groupware and electronic approval capabilities, and Polaris Cloud's cloud and AX implementation expertise—delivering solutions that cover the entire work environment for both corporate and public sector clients.
