The right digital devices elevate your business—how does Acer help you choose what answers your company’s requirements?
Johannesburg, 12 October 2023: Every business today relies on various digital technologies, from laptops and servers to online software and high-speed internet. But selecting the best tech investments is a daunting task, which is why many companies trust Acer to help them make the best choices.
Digital technology and business have been in lockstep for a long time. Companies were the early adopters of personal computers in the 1980s, turning brands such as Microsoft and Apple into modern giants. This relationship continues today, yet it’s a much more complicated world. Organisations need multiple devices fitted to different roles and tight budgets, and backed by resilient security and support services.
It’s easy to make a mistake, to get too little or too much for your business. Acer appreciates that challenge, embracing a different philosophy from many other technology vendors.
“We won’t sell to you what you don’t need—we’ll rather walk away,” says Glenn du Toit, Acer Country Manager. “The devices you get are the result of a decision based on different considerations such as function, budget, and long-term goals. Does it make sense to get big and powerful business laptops for the boss, but your designers have to battle with old systems? Does your CFO’s laptop contain the level of security that helps protect them and the sensitive information they handle? If you get desktop systems for branch outlets, are they backed by support that will get those systems up and running asap? These are the things we at Acer want to know. They’re the questions every device provider should ask.”
Acer understands that the value of digital solutions depends on their purpose, and the right device choices mean the difference between wasted money and long-term value. To achieve such results, it supports digital transformation plans in several ways:
Any size and business: As one of the world’s leading device manufacturers, Acer provides options to all types of businesses, from sole proprietors to global enterprises, and caters to specific business sectors. Whether your needs are around budget, energy certification, scaled deployment, or other business-specific requirements, Acer’s people know how to listen, plan, and deliver.
Wide range of options: Acer’s products populate a very extensive catalogue of choices, from laptops and notebooks to desktops and workstations. Customers can select from Windows and Chrome systems, featuring out-of-the-box security and support features. Acer’s customers enjoy enhancements such as convertible touchscreen systems, rugged military-grade devices, and high-performance multimedia computers.
Excellent management tools: Management complexity is a big challenge for today’s companies. The best device investments can unravel if your administrators are overwhelmed by management issues, especially in today’s hybrid and remote-work offices. Acer leverages the Intel vPro® remote-management platform to provide secure, integrated and visible control of your company devices.
Strategic support: Things go wrong. Your business loses productivity and money when digital devices stop performing as they should. Support and customer satisfaction are strategic parts of the Acer business model, providing customers extensive warranties, walk-in consultations, on-site interventions, and responsive support call centres. These engagements ensure customer devices keep performing and directly enhance Acer’s business intelligence and strategy.
Focused on security: Cybercrime is a constant risk that no company can ignore. Acer proactively adds security features such as fingerprint readers, file encryption, webcam covers, and built-in authentication chips to its business devices—incorporated through Acer’s ProShield Plus all-in-one security software. Other security enhancements include privacy toggles, user detection to lock unattended devices, and Windows 11 Secured-Core.
Suited for modern workplaces: Business can happen anywhere, so your employees need the device features that support remote working and collaboration. Acer devices include features that support employees’ productivity from anywhere, including high-definition webcams, cutting-edge wifi and mobile broadband components, comfortable form factors such as convertible touch screens, and long-life batteries.
Digital transformation elevates your business, but it doesn’t have to be your business. Focus on what your teams do best, and trust Acer to help you make the right technology choices for your workforce. Business and digital technology have been strong partners for decades—Acer helps them adapt and thrive in the digital age.
