Globally headquartered in Taiwan, Acer America serves as one of four regional business units and is responsible for driving innovation in consumer electronics including notebooks, desktops, monitors and products for gamers and creators. As Acer America’s customer support presence grew, it needed a system that would support both transparent, seamless customer experiences and effective internal communications among contact center agents and employees. The company also required a solution that gave them the flexibility to enable a mobile and remote workforce to remain collaborative and productive no matter where they were located.

“We’ve historically partnered with on-premises legacy providers for our communications and contact center, which severely limited the way our employees and contact center agents could interact with each other and service customers,” said Mark Groveunder, Senior VP, IT & Customer Service at Acer Inc. “The biggest surprise our leadership team found when we deployed 8×8 was how quickly our entire workforce embraced the 8×8 Virtual Office desktop and mobile applications. The quality of the voice and chat functionality allowed us to build a more flexible and safer work environment for mobile and remote workers. We recently relocated one office, and because of the strong communications foundation of the 8×8 platform there was minimal to no disruption to operations.”
Acer America deployed 8×8 X Series, providing it with a complete unified communications and contact center solution built on one open modern cloud technology platform, which complemented their wider information technology infrastructure. Employees and contact center agents are now able to work remotely, and can collaborate internally and engage customers just as easily as if in the office.
“Moving to 8×8 also enhanced our data and analytics capabilities, especially increasing our visibility into contact center insights,” added Groveunder. “Since we’ve transitioned to 8×8 Contact Center, we have much more transparency into customer and agent trends as they evolve. With that knowledge, we can capitalize on opportunities we may not have had otherwise.”
