HandySoft Wins Korea Veterans Welfare and Healthcare Corporation AI Groupware Project... Targets Public AX Market with Polaris Office

HandySoft, a company specializing in public sector groupware, is set to aggressively target the public AX (AI Transformation) market after winning a contract for an artificial intelligence (AI)-based groupware project. Having secured its first commercial application case for its own AI solution, the company is also expected to ramp up collaboration synergies with its affiliate, Polaris Office.

On the 20th, HandySoft announced that it has signed the main contract for the "AI Groupware System Construction Service" project from the Korea Veterans Welfare and Healthcare Corporation.

This project will be carried out as a consortium, with a total value of approximately 3.66 billion won. Of this, HandySoft’s contract amount is about 2.15 billion won, accounting for 6.85% of last year’s revenue of roughly 31.4 billion won. The project period is about 12 months, running until May next year.

The core of this project is that HandySoft’s AI solution, "Handy Intelligence (HIE)," will be applied in a real-world business case for the first time. The company anticipates that this will serve as a turning point, shifting its business model from conventional groupware functions to an integrated solution provider based on AI engines.

HIE is an intelligent collaboration platform developed by HandySoft, combining its experience in the public sector with the latest AI technology. Its unique "SAAI (Synapse-Agent AI) Engine" enables the parallel processing of both private AI, tailored to public institution security requirements, and high-performance public AI.

The company explained that this enables not only the automation of repetitive tasks such as document summarization, drafting, and data analysis, but also provides knowledge search and recommendation features for information accumulated within the organization, thereby improving decision-making efficiency.

The system being implemented for the Korea Veterans Welfare and Healthcare Corporation is also focused on creating an AI-driven work innovation environment, going beyond simple electronic approval or messenger functions. HandySoft plans to rebuild the AI-based e-audit system, link it with the public audit system, and establish record transfer and an integrated database (DB).

In particular, the company aims to enhance audit work efficiency and strengthen its data-driven decision-making framework by utilizing HIE’s analytical capabilities.

The market is also paying attention to the prospect that this project will serve as a catalyst for the technological synergy between Polaris Office, an affiliate of the Polaris Group, and HandySoft.

Industry observers note that if Polaris Office’s AI-powered document creation and editing technologies are combined with HandySoft’s public sector expertise and groupware capabilities, the entire public sector work process—from document drafting and approval to data management and analysis—could be optimized through AI.

The company stated that its competitiveness is differentiated by offering a "group-integrated AI work environment" rather than a single solution. There is also speculation that this could serve as a strong entry barrier in the public AX market going forward.

This collaboration is also considered a core example of the "Polaris 2.0" strategy being pursued by Polaris Group. Polaris Group is working to build a "Physical AI" ecosystem that merges AI software technologies with hardware in real-world industries such as robotics, and the collaboration between HandySoft and Polaris Office is cited as the first visible result of this effort.

HandySoft plans to use this project as an opportunity to expand AI innovation cases in the public sector, and to further strengthen its position in the public AX market by leveraging differentiated solution competitiveness based on collaboration with its affiliates.

There is industry consensus that HandySoft’s recent contract is significant, as it marks the beginning of tangible business results from both the commercialization of AI groupware and the group-wide AI collaboration strategy.
