Acer+Taking Partnership at InforChannel: When Hardware Meets Strategy

For years, hardware was treated as a commodity. You buy it, install it, use it until it breaks, then replace it. Simple as that, and problematic as that.

The problem is not the equipment. It is the model. Buying hardware in irregular cycles generates unpredictable cost, technological obsolescence, operational risk, and distracts the IT team with asset management that is not the business core.

The market noticed this. And HaaS — Hardware as a Service — emerged.

What changes with HaaS

Instead of buying, the company subscribes. Instead of managing assets, it focuses on the business. Instead of dealing with obsolescence, it relies on continuous updates.

The model already accounts for 40% of Acer's B2B sales in Brazil, the manufacturer's second-largest market in the Americas. This is not a trend. It is a reality in accelerated adoption.

A partnership that adds to the equation

The partnership between Acer and Grupo Taking was featured in InforChannel and represents an evolution of the traditional HaaS model: more consultative, more integrated, and customer-centric.

Under the High Touch concept, which already guides everything we do, the proposal combines Acer equipment with our expertise in digital solutions, automation, and digital intelligence. The result is complete equipment lifecycle management: from acquisition and deployment to support, updates, executive reports, and sustainable disposal.

A unique ecosystem. A single point of contact. Financial predictability and governance over critical assets.

Who this is for

The focus is on medium and large companies — organizations with 50 to 5,000 employees seeking financial and operational efficiency in IT infrastructure management.

For smaller companies within this range, the model reduces initial investment and accelerates access to technology. For larger ones, it meets complex demands with flexibility for hybrid environments and greater governance.

And for the more than 130 clients already in our portfolio — including Itaú, Bradesco, Stone, C&A, Yamaha, and ABInBev — this partnership opens the possibility of integrating cutting-edge hardware into the solution ecosystem they already use.

Infrastructure is also strategy

This is the vision that guides the partnership: hardware is not an isolated asset. It is part of an integrated technology strategy, aligned with business objectives.

When infrastructure, services, governance, and business vision operate together, the client stops managing equipment and starts extracting real value from technology.

That is exactly what we built with Acer.
