Mobile carrier KT rolled out “olleh biz talk,” a messenger program specialized for corporate use, on Monday.

Combining characteristics of a traditional messenger program and smartphone text-messaging, olleh biz talk provides services including chat, message, fax, phone call, audio and photo message, and group message.

Unlike traditional messenger programs, olleh biz talk is accessible both through computers and mobile phones. The contact lists are organized by the company’s structure.

The messenger program neither requires an additional registration fee and monthly minimum charges nor entails a construction and maintenance fee as conventional corporate messenger systems do, KT said.

The company said the messenger will become a helpful business tool for small and medium-sized companies that need streamlined, low-budget communication messenger programs like olleh biz talk.

After the launch of olleh biz talk, KT plans to continue upgrading its functions for better efficiency.
