RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry BES Express, featuring FREE server software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the basic accessibility, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless synchronization and remote availability of files and programs. But the price cuts don't end at free software and Client Access Licenses (CALs). Customers now have the ability to select the BIS data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan, which can save you $10-$20 per month for every one of your RIM BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express can be deployed directly on an Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle as many as 75 clients, or on a stand-alone server to support as many as 2,000 clients. RIM BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who before now couldn't afford connecting employees' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES does not provide high availability, system monitoring, mirroring, or desk phone integration and limits the supported IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan users will have to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Subsequently they will have the complete BlackBerry wireless messaging and organizer data environment including calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices over the air.
