Research In Motion's new Enterprise Mobility Management
(EMM) solution, BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, is now
available for download, paving the way for the January 30
launch of the make-or-break devices.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 is bringing together
device management, security, and mobile applications
management for BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry PlayBook
tablets, and new BlackBerry 10 smartphones in a
consolidated solution. It also provides a single console
for managing BlackBerry, Android and iOS devices.
"BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 empowers employees to be
more productive and better equipped to serve customers
while it provides business and IT leaders with the
confidence that corporate data is protected and manageable
in the same way they have long enjoyed with BlackBerry,"
said Peter Devenyi, Senior Vice President, Enterprise
Software, Research In Motion. "BlackBerry Enterprise
Service 10 makes mobility easy for businesses to help keep
them moving."
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 supports both
corporate-owned and personal-owned (BYOD - Bring Your Own
Device) device deployments and mixed environments of
BlackBerry and other devices, providing mobile device
management, mobile application management, and secure
access to corporate data. It includes a unified, web-based
administration console to manage devices and users. It
also supports BlackBerry Balance technology, which
separates and secures work applications and data from
personal content on BlackBerry devices.
Key Features for BlackBerry 10 smartphones with BlackBerry
Enterprise Service 10:
- Support for secure separation of work and personal
applications and data on BlackBerry 10 smartphones through
BlackBerry Balance technology.
- Support for secure access to work email, content and
secure connectivity to "behind the firewall" applications
and data.
- BlackBerry World for Work, the new corporate app
storefront for BlackBerry 10 smartphones that allows
organizations to easily manage apps for employees.
-
Administrators can push and install the organization's
mandatory apps to both corporate and personal-owned
devices and publish recommended apps to employees.
- Management controls for securing and managing work
profiles including hierarchical group management with
Active Directory integration, support for customizable
administrative roles with granular capabilities, an
enterprise enrollment process for employees that offers a
self-service console, and centralized control of
assignable profiles for email, SCEP, Wi-Fi, VPN and proxy
servers.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 software as well as a
limited sixty (60) day free trial (includes client access
licenses) is available to be ordered.
The Blackberry smartphones, powered by an all-new
operating system, are pivotal to the future of RIM, which
has ceded market share to Apple's iPhone and devices
powered by Google's Android operating system.
RIM is now betting that its re-engineered new line of
touch-screen and keyboard devices will help it win back
consumers and market share.
