Things are looking up for Acer. It has been performing rather strong in Germany and is seeing strong sales of its standard LCD monitors and gaming LCD monitors and PCs.

Acer's Build Your Own Cloud (BYOC) platform also recently went online in Germany. Several local airports and highway large display systems are connected with the BYOC platform, which is managed by Acer and its Germany-based partner.
