Acer GM Glenn Du Toit: Companies should not be ignoring Chromebooks [promoted]

Loading player...
If you think Chromebooks are not for you, then it’s important you listen to this podcast with Acer Africa GM Glenn Du Toit.
With the baked-in security of Google, a clean interface, and supported by a company that is geared to service, Du Toit explains why companies shouldn’t be ignoring Chromebooks.
Du Toit talks about how the cultural shift within his organisation - from chasing numbers to constructing meaningful solutions - has had a big impact and why investing for the future has been worth it.
“As a business leader, if you are told that you are buying one device for the entire team, you should look closer. There are devices geared to each user requirement and therefore a blend will always be there,” says Du Toit.
“Technology can no longer remain linear if the user experience is at the centre of our ambitions.” Says Acer GM, Glenn Du Toit.
