HTC—The Outsourcer That Could

HTC is the abbreviation for High Tech Computer Corporation, a manufacturer of Microsoft Windows CE portable devices based in Taiwan. It was founded as an outsourcing company on May 15, 1997. Today, it is marketing its own HTC brand of products and is supporting its own operator-branded products as well. The Open Handset Alliance is a consortium of which HTC is a member. These corporations are committed to making their products conform to standards that will allow the open-source Android operating system to run. An Android-based phone will be released by the end of 2008.

The chairwoman of this cutting-edge company is Cher Wang; the President is Peter H. T. Chou. HTC’s main divisions are ISO 9001/ISO14001-qualified. This includes the Information Appliance engineering division and Wireless Mobile engineering division. Once Microsoft chose HTC for a hardware platform development partner for the Windows Mobile OS, the company grew exponentially. In 2005, sales totaled $2.2 billion, a 102% increase from 2004. Business Week’s Info Tech 100 listed it as the fastest-growing tech company.
