Research in Motion has introduced BlackBerry BES Express, offering FREE software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry BES Server such as wireless synchronization and mobile availability of files and applications. But the cost cuts don't stop at free software and CAL licenses. Customers now have the ability to select the BIS data carrier plan rather than the BES data plan, saving you $10-$20 per month for each of your RIM BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be deployed directly on an Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle as many as 75 users, or on a stand-alone BESX server to support as many as 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for small- and medium-sized organizations who before now couldn't financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to the corporate network.
The Express edition of BlackBerry BES does not offer high availability features, monitoring, mirroring, or desk phone/PBX support and reduces the supported policies from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone wireless data plan clients will have to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry wireless email and organizer data environment including scheduling, contacts, tasks, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones over the air.
