In 2004, AOpen created MoDT as a breakthrough innovation to meet emerging
markets for green IT solutions. Today, AOpen stands alone as the industry
leader in manufacturing cost-saving,energy-efficient MoDT ultra small form
factor (uSFF) components and customizable platforms with thousands of flexible
options.
Established in 1996, AOpen offers more than 10 years of manufacturing experience
along with keen insights into industry trends that have helped drive AOpen's
growth to the top. AOpen's FY 2007 earnings totaled $108.2 million with
expected FY 2008 earnings to reflect the company's impressive growth spike in
U.S. and global markets covering digital signage, green IT solutions, education
and medical applications, and more.
Organizational Culture
AOpen partners enjoy the best of two worlds. While AOpen prizes the human
element in offering the individual attention of a mom ‘n pop shop to its
customers, AOpen also offers access to many of the incredible resources of its
parent company, the Pan Acer Group (ABW), which includes Acer (FY 2007 $14.06B)
and Gateway Computers.
AOpen consistently scores high in customer satisfaction ( see
Awards and Press ). In part, this is due to the company's OPEN
ARCHITECTURE and OPEN IMPLEMENTATION design philosophies that place special
emphases on adaptability and compatibility. AOpen goes to great lengths to help
sustain its partners' business continuity while replacing parts, upgrading
parts and customizing platforms. AOpen is a true one-stop shop open 24/7
on-demand to support its partners via online and hotline services.

Green IT Solutions: ISO 19011, RoHS, Energy Star, EPEAT
During Summer 2007, the EPA decided to challenge PC makers with stricter rules
for Energy Star qualification. The agency hopes to attain 40% compliancy by
2010 and 80% compliancy by 2014. This is responsible, demanding, and timely
thinking. AOpen embraces the challenge.
From the same green tech labs that introduced MoDT systems in 2004, AOpen has
again stepped into a leadership role by going above and beyond the expected.
AOpen’s cutting-edge MoDT modules can do the same work as traditional computers
but at a fraction of the energy consumption and cost.
Furthermore, AOpen’s commitment to over-performing in the pursuit of
environmental sustainability has become evident in all aspects of the company’s
manufacturing processes including its internal and external vendor auditing for
ISO compliancy (AOpen is ISO 19011 Certified). In addition, AOpen’s XC Minis,
Digital Engines and VIPs are RoHS and EPEAT ready.
