| Reports To | Rudi Schmidleithner, president, Acer America |
| Top Priority for 2006 | To continue providing an integrity-based channel program that offers great products at great prices and allows the channel to profitably sell hardware. |
| Top Business Challenge | To provide great opportunities to the resellers while offering products through the retail channel that don't create a direct conflict. |
| Top Opportunity | Capturing the demand for alternative brands. The number of resellers selling hardware has decreased because manufacturers are undercutting partners by taking opportunities direct or using their hardware as a loss leader while making large margins on their service offerings. |
| Best Part of Channel Program | Our 100 percent commitment to the channel; no direct sales force means no channel conflicts. Unlike other manufacturers, we enable partners to buy product at a price they can make money. |
| Best Decision In the Last 12 Months | Simplifying pricing and eliminating cumbersome rebates. Acer's partners now have access to an innovative portfolio of products at price points that allow them to not be undercut by direct vendors. |
