BlackBerry has gained notoriety for constantly setting the bar for the business mobile space. Currently, BlackBerry 10 has received a ton of praise for it’s performance on the Z10, and now Q10 smartphones. This boost from the business sector in particular has been attributed to the fact that BlackBerry has been, and continues to be, the absolute best option for email for both business professionals and the average user.
One of the biggest selling points for the new BlackBerry 10 operating system is the ability to innovate in a space that has been dominated by copycats. As the leader in enterprise mobile computing, BlackBerry delivers comprehensive device management, application management and security for corporate and personally-owned devices through BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (BES10). However, when behind the firewall your app and browsing access, application management, and advanced security and management aren’t required. BlackBerry 10 smartphones support ActiveSync as a standard, giving organizations a fast and easy solution for synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Notes Traveler, Novell GroupWise, Hotmail, Microsoft Office365, or Google Apps. This is an attractive option for:
- SMBs and larger companies that don’t require the comprehensive controls and settings delivered with BES10 and are looking for a fast, cost effective way to connect corporate or BYOD device users right out of the box to provide employees with instant access to enterprise messaging systems.
- Consumers who need a quick and easy method to connect and sync personal email and PIM information over-the-air (e.g. Hotmail).
ActiveSync on BlackBerry 10 devices provides a full push solution when syncing email, calendar and contacts. This means that what you see on your device is always current with your desktop. This is the new BlackBerry attitude; fully integrated, hassle-free solutions that can save you time and offer you peace of mind.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 affords business users the opportunity to truly harness the full potential of their BlackBerry device in a way that it was meant to be.
