On October 1, we officially cut the ribbon for our new software development center in Taipei, Taiwan. The office is located in the Nankang Software Park, an internationally renowned high-tech incubator.

CEO Jimmy Hsiao, who grew up in Taiwan, views the move as a “big win-win” scenario for Logic’s partners.
Taiwan’s advanced technology industry and culture has created a high supply of high-tech talent, which is one of the incentives luring many leading software companies to its shores.

“As we continue to make long-term U.S. business partnerships, we simultaneously seek ways to ensure the highest possible customer satisfaction,” said Hsiao. ” With our Shanghai office at 90% capacity, we’ve known for some time that we needed to locate more space and talent globally. Taiwan is very competitive, and Nankang Park has state-of-the-art facilities to help attract excellent employees who will do excellent work for our clients.”

Upgrades to a company’s eCommerce site and mCommerce adoption are mission-critical for B2C sales and marketing.

On Cyber Monday, 18% of shoppers browsed websites on their mobile devices, and mobile purchases accounted for 13% of total online sales (or roughly $200 million).
