Vodafone and BlackBerry hosted the first preview for Qatar-based businesses of BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, BlackBerry’s new multiplatform EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) solution.
More than 20 senior representatives from Vodafone’s business partners across the private and public sectors attended the event.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 brings together device management, industry leading 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 prepares organisations for the future of mobile diversity, as well as integrates with existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0 deployments.
“Vodafone is delighted to be the first telecom service provider in Qatar to offer a preview of the BlackBerry 10 platform that will match the expectations of our enterprise customers,” Niraj Singh, Vodafone Business Services director said.
“Our long standing relationship with BlackBerry has provided our corporate customers with mobility solutions that are critical to boosting productivity and maintaining a business edge. BlackBerry has been our trusted partner for many years and we are excited to see what the next generation of BlackBerry solutions has to offer,” Singh said.
“BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 enables mobile workers to securely access the corporate information - from applications to e-mail - that they need, and provides administrators with efficient tools that can help keep their businesses moving,” Robert Bose, regional managing director (Middle East and Africa) BlackBerry, said.
“With BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, administrators can create separate enterprise and personal profiles on BlackBerry 10 devices, enabling employees to use one device for all their needs,” Bose added.
