Research in Motion recently introduced BlackBerry BES Express, featuring FREE software and CAL licenses while delivering the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry BES Server including wireless sync and remote access to data and applications. But the cost savings don't end at free software and CALs. You also get the ability to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service wireless data plan instead of the BES data carrier plan, which can save you $10-$20 per month for each of your BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, which can handle up to 75 clients, or on a stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 users. BlackBerry BES Server Express is ideal for small- and medium-sized organizations who until now couldn't afford connecting employees' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate IT system.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability, system monitoring, mirroring, or desk phone support and reduces the supported IT polices from 450 to 35. Also, BIS data plan clients will have to perform the first direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the full BlackBerry wireless email and personal organizer data environment which includes 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.
