Polaris Office Integrates Cloud with 'Office Assistant'... Expands Carrier-Based Recurring Revenue

Polaris Office is expanding its recurring revenue business through mobile carriers by integrating cloud features into its mobile document service, Office Assistant. The strategy is to increase the service's utility and broaden its user base by adding document storage and management features to its existing document viewing and editing functions.

Polaris Office announced on November 12 that it is pursuing cloud integration for Office Assistant in collaboration with Ocean Blue, the operator of the Ansim Cloud service.

Office Assistant is an add-on service for viewing and editing documents offered through the PASS apps of the three mobile carriers, SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus. Ansim Cloud is a service for storing and managing a range of data, including documents, photos, and videos.

Under the collaboration, users will be able to retrieve documents stored in Ansim Cloud through Office Assistant and view and edit them. Documents worked on using a smartphone can also be saved back to the cloud, connecting the entire process, from editing to storage, in a single user experience. The company said this will reduce the risk of losing documents when users replace or lose their devices and allow them to reuse stored documents whenever needed.

Office Assistant combines Polaris Office's office software technology with the user bases of mobile carriers. It is growing into a recurring revenue business that acquires customers through carrier platforms and encourages continued use of the service. Revenue related to Office Assistant increased 295% in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier.

Starting with this cloud integration, the company plans to expand the range of document use, increase service usage among existing customers, and attract new subscribers. It is also working to enhance its AI document creation features and considering introducing functions that would let users share documents using certificates in cloud environments in the future.

A Polaris Office representative said, "Office Assistant is growing into a business that generates recurring revenue by combining the large user bases of mobile carriers with our office software technology. Starting with cloud integration, we will expand features that users can experience firsthand and incorporate differentiated technologies such as AI to strengthen both the service's competitiveness and its recurring revenue base."

Meanwhile, Polaris Office is also pursuing a vertical AI strategy that combines its proprietary office software technology with industry-specific data and AI technology from its group companies. The company plans to target the AI transformation (AX) market for businesses and public institutions by building a work environment that supports everything from document creation to approvals, security, and data analysis.

In document security, Polaris Office is working with quantum security company ATON to apply post-quantum cryptography (PQC) technology to Polaris Web Office. The company plans to target the business-to-business (B2B) market among companies with high security needs, including financial institutions and edtech companies, by encrypting the entire process from document creation to distribution and storage.
