Founded in 1989, ZEON at first developed electronic publishing and printing solutions, and switched to PDF technology in 1993. In 2005, we established a new team and ventured upon business collaboration software. After years of evolution and a brand change, Teampel is now a smart, compact solution widely used by businesses that seek to improve teamwork quickly without having to do too much. Now, let’s join the community of Teamplars and get working!

ZEON sets up a new team and begins to develop business collaboration software,
codenamed M1. The intriguing brand name “Gaaiho” shows up around this time as well.
Here is the
backstory
Gaaiho, pronounced ga-aye-ho (for native speakers, na-aye-ho), means “hello” in the language of Amis, one of the major indigenous peoples in Taiwan. In early 70s, T.C. TUNG, the founder of ZEON, paid an unforgettable visit to the Hualien County (a rural, mountainous region east of Taiwan) for his college graduation project. There, a chance encounter sparked a long-lasting friendship with an Amis person.
Deeply moved by the hospitality showed by the Amis people, T.C. would continue to visit his friends and this beautiful land over and over again in his life. In 2005, during one of those road trips with family, T.C. happened to see a board sign listing the proper ways to greet the indigenous peoples, and “gaaiho” immediately caught his eyes. Remember the good times he had with his Amis friends, he soon decided to name the new brand after that word.
Gaaiho (hello), world!
