Key Elements of the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution are:

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server is enterprise-class server software that acts as the centralized link between BlackBerry smartphones, enterprise applications, PBX environments through the use of BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (BlackBerry MVS), and wireless networks. BlackBerry Enterprise Server works seamlessly with enterprise messaging and collaboration systems to provide secure access to email, calendar, voice, instant messaging, browser, enterprise applications, and personal information management tools. It also provides advanced security features and access to administrative tools that simplify management and centralize control of the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. All data between applications and BlackBerry smartphones flows through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which has achieved more independent security accreditations than any other product in the wireless market.

BlackBerry smartphones are integrated wireless voice and data devices that are optimized to work with the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. They provide push-based access to email and data from enterprise applications and systems in addition to web, MMS, SMS and organizer applications. BlackBerry smartphones feature large, bright color screens, an easy to use navigation trackball and menu interface, QWERTY and touch screen keyboard layouts and a host of top of the line features, including Bluetooth support and excellent battery life. BlackBerry enabled devices from leading manufacturers include BlackBerry Connect software that allows them to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (BlackBerry MVS) converges office desk phones and BlackBerry smartphones, unifying fixed and mobile voice communications so users can be reached at a single business phone number and access enterprise voice features whether they’re at their desks or on the go. BlackBerry MVS offers advanced security features and system management functionality, such as enabling administrators to route mobile calls through the PBX, automatically authenticating BlackBerry smartphone users to the PBX and logging or recording BlackBerry smartphones calls for regulatory compliance.

Why You Should Upgrade to BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0

Engineered for mission critical environments, you can benefit from the high availability architecture, improved administrative features, valuable monitoring tools, advanced security, and its ability to grow with your company.

• BlackBerry Administration Service is a dynamic, web-based, centralized administrative console designed to provide a complete and efficient way to manage the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. The console is customized, so that it only shows the administrator the relevant tasks based on their role. It provides what is needed to set up and manage the high availability architecture, wirelessly deploy BlackBerry smartphones, manage user settings, deploy and manage applications, assign permissions, control groups, and update BlackBerry Device Software

• Enterprise-wide application deployments and upgrades are efficient and can be done without impact to BlackBerry smartphone users. With enhanced job management, throttling and scheduling, deployments can now be managed around peak business hours. Jobs can be scheduled to avoid interference with day-to-day business continuity which solves the problem of the IT Administration team needing to work after hours.

• Custom roles and enhanced group functionality provide more controls that allow administrators to assign BlackBerry smartphone functionality according to employee roles within the company. IT managers can now assign role-based permissions to IT staff, tailoring BlackBerry administrative tasks to the specific role of the administrator. Group membership capabilities have been expanded, with multiple levels of nested groups possible, and the ability to assign roles, software configurations and IT policies to groups.
