RIM BlackBerry recently released BlackBerry BES Express, featuring FREE software and Client Access Licenses (CALs) while providing the core accessibility, protection, and administration functions of BlackBerry BES Server such as wireless sync and remote access to data and applications. And the cost savings don't end at free software and CALs. Customers also get the option to select the BIS wireless data plan instead of the BES data carrier plan, which can save your business up to $20 per month for each of your BlackBerry users!
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle up to 75 clients, or on a dedicated server to support as many as 2,000 users. RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for smaller organizations who before now could not financially justify integrating their workers' BlackBerry devices to the corporate IT system.
The Express version of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not offer high availability, monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX integration and reduces the number of available IT polices from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS wireless data plan users will have to execute an initial wired enterprise activation to integrate with the BES. Subsequently they will have the full BlackBerry mobile messaging and personal organizer data experience which includes scheduling, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server data carrier plan can still enterprise activate their devices over the air.
