RIM BlackBerry has introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering NO COST software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while delivering the basic connectivity, protection, and administration functions of BlackBerry BES Server including wireless synchronization and mobile access to files and applications. But the price savings don't stop at free server software and CALs. Customers now get the option to select the BIS data plan rather than the BES data plan, saving your business $10-$20 per month for each of your BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, recommended for as many as 75 clients, or on a stand-alone server to support as many as 2,000 clients. BlackBerry BES Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who until now could not afford integrating employees' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate network.
The Express edition of BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not offer high availability, monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX support and reduces the number of supported IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS data plan users will have to execute an initial wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry mobile messaging and organizer data environment including calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes. Those using the BES data plan can still enterprise activate their devices over the air.
