How it works
Whether a large company wants to connect its mobile users with internal applications, or a small business wishes to access all of its email addresses from one smartphone — the BlackBerry® solution can make it happen. There are three options to receive the solution:
• BlackBerry® Enterprise Server – integrates your organisation's BlackBerry® smartphones with your existing enterprise systems, securely extending wireless communications and corporate data to mobile users.
• BlackBerry® Professional Software – a wireless communications and collaboration solution for small- and medium-sized businesses. It delivers the features your employees need, in a package that's competitively priced and easy to set up.
• BlackBerry® Internet Bundle – provides individuals and small businesses with quick, easy wireless access to communications and information — with no server software or IT support required.
Both BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and BlackBerry® Professional Software immediately duplicate a message when it hits your inbox, sending a copy direct to your device. The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server sits on your company server and provides the same message forwarding, but with added functionality, such as CRM integration, user grouping and different authority levels
Advantages
Flexibility
Almost all internal programs can be developed for use on these devices and they update in real time, rather than having to wait to sync with a network computer. With access to contacts, address books, diaries and other files, it means that the information you need is never far away.
Choice
BlackBerry smartphones come in a variety of models from the ultra-high spec BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 smartphone through to the chic BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphone, and the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 smartphone. Alternative Networks is here to help you choose the right device for your users.
Boost productivity
A BlackBerry solution can save you up to one working hour for every day in use. This means its return on investment is incredibly speedy.
Security
The BlackBerry solution provides a truly secure network, which uses both Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to ensure critical business information is always safe. Kill packets can also be sent to disable a lost or stolen device.
Simplicity
BlackBerry smartphones’ intuitive menus make them easy to use. It’s also simple to manage as new devices can be added wirelessly.
Easy to deploy, easy to manage
With the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, organisations can benefit from deployment and management features that simplify its administration. These include over-the-air IT policy enforcement, asset management, remote BlackBerry Enterprise Server and network management, and the ability to set role- and group-based administration capabilities across your fleet.
