Acer has moved its support call centres to North American locations to have more direct access to Canadian customers, invested more money and resources into technical support, and has appointed Michael O’Beirne as a director to oversee Canada and North American product sales.
As the second most popular PC provider in Canada, according to statistics from Partner Research Corp, Acer Canada is looking to expand its resources and influence on the Canadian market.
This move will provide premier support for small and medium enterprise (SME) customers and their IT departments.
