Businesses can choose from a variety of software options that help give BlackBerry® smartphone users broader access to the applications and information they rely on. This business software also enables greater IT control and connects your BlackBerry smartphones to enterprise applications.
Key Business Software Features
Take advantage of push technology
BlackBerry smartphone users can enjoy push technology, which can automatically deliver messages and information to their smartphones. Push technology is designed to minimize the impact on battery life, while helping to decrease bandwidth usage.
With support for Microsoft® Exchange, IBM® Lotus® Domino® and Novell® GroupWise®, your BlackBerry smartphone users can open and edit attachments1, flag email for follow up2, search email, set out of office notifications and more.
Give busy professionals more great calendar features
Employees can send out, accept or forward calendar appointments from their BlackBerry smartphones and never worry that the changes will be out of sync with their desktop calendar. They can even view calendar attachments3 and look up co-workers' availability before booking appointments.1
Add or edit contacts right from the BlackBerry smartphone
Contact information is automatically synchronized between the desktop and the BlackBerry smartphone. Your users can even remotely look up colleagues in the company address list for greater productivity while out of the office.
Let your employees take their instant messaging and social networking out of the office. BlackBerry smartphones support BlackBerry® Messenger out of the box, or add web-based IM and social networking solutions. Enterprise solutions are also supported with some business software.
Help improve productivity with wireless access to files
BlackBerry smartphone users can open, view, save, or email files directly from their smartphones.1 Popular supported file formats include JPEG, Adobe® PDF, Microsoft® Word, Microsoft® Excel® and Microsoft® PowerPoint®.5 Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint files can also be edited.
BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System (BlackBerry MVS) is an add-on for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, designed to provide one business phone number, one caller ID, one voice mailbox, and office phone features through BlackBerry smartphones.
