"On the first day Acer Synergy Tech was founded, I announced we would pursue global services." Han Zheng-da believed that competing head-on with Taiwan's established SI giants wasn't viable, so the team needed to find its own advantages. As an Acer subsidiary, it should leverage the parent company's global resources. He noted that traditional SI companies were often restricted by geography — even when clients had needs, it was hard to deliver because overseas partners were difficult to find and local financial regulations were unfamiliar. For clients, ordering from a Taiwan vendor typically only got you on-site installation abroad; ongoing maintenance was hard for IT staff to handle in real time.
