Research In Motion (RIM) today announced plans for a multi-platform BlackBerry Enterprise Solution for managing and securing mobile devices for enterprises and government organizations.<\/p>\n
The solution will make available the management, security and controls of BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express for BlackBerry devices.<\/p>\n
Through RIM’s pending acquisition of ubitexx (creator of the ubi-Suite device management solution), the solution is also expected to incorporate secure device management for Android and iOS based devices and tablets, all managed from a single web-based console.<\/p>\n
“The multi-platform BlackBerry Enterprise Solution is designed to address a growing market and respond to requests from enterprise customers who want a secure multi-platform device management solution from a company that already delivers the gold standard for enterprise mobility,” said Peter Devenyi, Vice President, Communications Platform Group at Research In Motion.<\/p>\n
“We recognize the opportunity to continue leading in the enterprise market by providing customers with a common platform to help simplify the management of a variety of mobile devices.”<\/p>\n
The single web-based console is being designed to provide IT administrators with a way to distribute software and manage policies, inventory, security and services for BlackBerry devices, as well as other mobile devices.<\/p>\n
IT administrators will be able to manage devices over-the-air, including activating devices, distributing software and applications, locking or wiping devices, enforcing and resetting device passwords, setting IT policies, and managing optional mobile applications for end users.<\/p>\n
