Research in Motion recently introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering NO COST server software and CALs while providing the basic accessibility, protection, and management capabilities of BlackBerry Enterprise Server such as over-the-air synchronization and mobile access to data and applications. But the cost savings don't end at free software and CALs. Customers also have the option to select the BlackBerry Internet Service data plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan, which can save your business up to $20 per month for each of your BlackBerry clients!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed on an Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 clients, or on a stand-alone BESX server which can support up to 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for smaller businesses who before now couldn't financially justify integrating employees' BlackBerry devices to their corporate network.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not offer high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX integration and reduces the available IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS data plan users will be required to perform an initial wired enterprise activation to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Subsequently they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data environment which includes scheduling, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BES wireless data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
