In Motion (RIM) has launched a version of the Blackberry Enterprise
Server Express aimed directly at small- to medium-sized businesses
(SMBs), branch offices and companies new to
Blackberry.
Blackberry
Enterprise Server Express provides the same enterprise-level
security, reliability, features and functionality of Blackberry
Enterprise Server v4.1 and is available as a free download to any
customer who buys a new Blackberry device.
"Mobile access is
an increasingly essential requirement of doing business and this is
especially prevalent in smaller businesses," says Mike Lazaridis,
president and co-CEO at RIM.
Blackberry
Enterprise Server Express provides tight integration with Microsoft
Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino or Novell GroupWise to enable secure,
push-based wireless access to email, organiser, internet and
intranet applications. Blackberry Enterprise Server Express
software comes with a single user licence and is upgradeable to
support up to 15 users. It can also be upgraded beyond 15 users
(with the purchase of an electronic unlock key) to a full
Blackberry Enterprise Server.
Blackberry
Enterprise Server Express also includes RIM's standard 60-day free
technical support plan (where available).
