 "RIM Mobilises Microsoft SharePoint On BlackBerry")
Research In Motion(RIM) has announced the BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint, delivering the most advanced mobile SharePoint solution on the market. The BlackBerry Client app provides a deeply integrated and intuitive mobile experience for users together with the manageability and security of BlackBerry Enterprise Server, providing a secure and cost-effective solution for businesses and government organisations.
“Our enterprise and government customers asked us to bring a highly refined mobile experience to SharePoint and we are delivering that today with the BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint,” said Alan Panezic, Vice President, Enterprise Product Management and Marketing at Research In Motion.
Connectivity between BlackBerry smartphones and SharePoint servers is made possible with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software. The complete solution features client app integration with core BlackBerry features and functions such as email, calendar, browser, and Universal Search providing an intuitive user experience.
It features check-out, check-in, and versioning of files reflected on the SharePoint server; Microsoft Office document editing using Documents To Go (pre-installed on BlackBerry smartphones) to download, create, revise and upload documents.
The solution allows access to Blogs, Wikis and Lists and the ability to update from a BlackBerry smartphone and content searches across multiple SharePoint sites from a BlackBerry smartphone.
In addition to user benefits, the complete solution also comes with many benefits for organisations and their IT departments. Application management and over-the-air provisioning of the Client app is made easy for IT departments with BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The DataSmart efficiency of the BlackBerry solution transmits more data with less monthly data plan usage, allowing organisations to consider smaller or more budget-friendly plans. And CIOs will welcome the fact that confidential company information is being transmitted securely over the wireless network between BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry smartphones.
A number of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies plan to roll out the BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint in the coming weeks.
