[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Polaris Office (formerly Infraware) announced on the 14th that it has signed a supply contract for Polaris Office for electronic whiteboards with a domestic electronic whiteboard manufacturer.


Polaris Office will install the Polaris Office software for electronic whiteboards on electronic whiteboards mass-produced by the domestic manufacturer. The first supply scale is 10,000 units of electronic whiteboards, which will be delivered overseas to the United States, Asia, Turkey, and other regions.


Starting with this supply contract, the two companies plan to cooperate to enter the global education market. The supplied product is a version of Polaris Office with some functions modified to suit electronic whiteboards. It supports editing of MS Office documents such as DOC, XLS, PPT, and PDF document formats.


A Polaris Office official said, “The domestic electronic whiteboard manufacturer with whom we signed the contract has the largest electronic whiteboard sales network in global markets including the United States, Europe, and Asia,” adding, “As non-face-to-face classes and meetings have become active worldwide after COVID-19, the demand for electronic whiteboards is also increasing, so we plan to expand the supply of office software to various electronic whiteboard products in the future.”


He continued, “We will actively enter the education service market and expand new sales channels.”


Last year, Polaris Office supplied the document viewing application ‘Polaris Viewer’ for the smart learning device ‘AlphaTab’ of the online education company Visang Education, and jointly developed the VR whiteboard ‘Polaris Board’ with GlobePoint, a virtual reality (VR) edutech specialist company.



Polaris Office aims to increase software utilization in various fields such as telecommuting, remote work, and online classes by providing diverse office services in the non-face-to-face education market through this supply contract.
