NHN has identified the business collaboration tool sector as a new growth engine and is putting everything on the line. Following the launch of NHN Doorey as an independent corporation last August, the company has set a goal to double its client base and revenue next year to become a market leader.


Baek Chang-yeol, CEO of NHN Doorey, stated at a press conference held on the morning of the 16th, "We will make next year the first year of expansion and growth." Doorey provides essential services for businesses such as email, messenger, and video conferencing as a work collaboration tool.


The market growth is also steep. Since its service launch in 2019, it has secured 130,000 users and about 3,000 client companies. Subscription-based service revenue grew by 250% compared to last September.

NHN Doorey is particularly prominent in the public sector. Recently, the Bank of Korea adopted NHN Doorey. The company said, "With the central bank, the Bank of Korea, deciding to adopt our service, we expect to secure more clients within the financial sector in the future." Other users include Seoul National University, KAIST, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and Institute for Basic Science (IBS). NHN Doorey plans to establish itself in the financial sector, universities, and research institutions markets by leveraging its strong security authentication.


It is also aiming for synergy through an alliance with Hancom Group, a strong player in the public sector. The two companies plan to strengthen their alliance and promote a subscription-based business model by integrating ‘Hancom Office Web’ with NHN Doorey.


NHN Doorey aims to target the large enterprise approval market by providing Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. If the first stage is a collaboration tool integrating projects, messenger, and email, the second stage is to offer all necessary functions for enterprises in SaaS form. They are developing a comprehensive SaaS service by adding features such as attendance management, approval, bulletin boards, and portal home functions.



Starting with Japan, where NHN Group companies have already entered, NHN Doorey will also pursue the global market. Through the translation service within NHN Doorey, global collaborative communication will be possible. An AI-powered Korean-Japanese and Japanese-Korean translator will be additionally installed. CEO Baek emphasized, "NHN Doorey is an ideal space for creating collaboration tools as it combines large enterprises and startups. With a new vision, we will grow solidly as a company alongside our clients."
