Research in Motion has released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), offering NO COST software and CAL licenses while providing the basic connectivity, security, and management capabilities of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless synchronization and mobile access to files and programs. But the price savings don't stop at free server software and CAL licenses. You now get the option to select the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan instead of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan, which can save your business up to $20 a month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, recommended for as many as 75 clients, or on a stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who until now could not financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate IT system.
The Express version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not provide high availability features, system monitoring, mirroring, or desk phone/PBX integration and reduces the supported IT polices from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan clients will be required to perform the first wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. After that they will have the complete BlackBerry wireless messaging and organizer data environment including calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BES wireless data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices over the air.
