Research in Motion recently introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering FREE software and CAL licenses while providing the basic connectivity, security, and management capabilities of RIM BlackBerry BES Server such as over-the-air sync and remote availability of files and programs. And the price savings don't end at free software and CALs. Customers now get the option to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan rather than the BES data plan, which can save your business $10-$20 a month for each of your RIM BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed on a Microsoft 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 users. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who until now couldn't afford connecting their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate IT system.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES Server does not offer high availability features, system monitoring, mirroring, or desktop phone integration and limits the number of available IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS wireless data plan clients will have to execute an initial direct-attached enterprise activation to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience which includes calendar, contacts, do lists, and notes. Users with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data plan can continue to enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
