The usage and function of the new POLARIS Office has completely changed in comparison to the previously sold product for individual use. In addition to allowing all users to view and edit documents, POLARIS Office will provide real-time synchronization of documents through its own cloud storage, enabling document editing anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, POLARIS Office will facilitate document sharing and collaborative work with multiple users.

Competition in the mobile office application market is fierce, and this has caused some operators to release a free office solutions application. In contrast to these services which generally charge a monthly fee to use editing tools, POLARIS Office will support all functions, viewing and editing at no charge. Furthermore, POLARIS Office supports various cloud environments and platforms.

Meanwhile, INFRAWARE is currently developing a desktop version of POLARIS Office. INFRAWARE will continue to expand its service for previously downloaded POLARIS Office usage on iOS and Android devices.

"The time when companies profited from exclusively holding software and service is over," said Min-Chul Kwak, CEO of INFRAWARE. "INFRAWARE will rapidly enhance our customers' business environment by offering POLARIS Office for free. We are confident that POLARIS Office will become a leader of the mobile office application market and INFRAWARE will continue its effort to make POLARIS Office the standard office software in all devices including smartphones, tablets, and desktops."

The new POLARIS Office can be downloaded from Google Play and Apple App Store, where the application is currently ranked as one of the Best New Apps in 37 countries. More information is available at www.polarisoffice.com and www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT2eHk-pEYs.
