RIM BlackBerry has released BlackBerry BES Express, featuring FREE software and CALs while delivering the basic accessibility, protection, and management functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless sync and mobile access to files and programs. But the cost savings don't stop at free server software and CALs. You also get the option to choose the BIS wireless data plan instead of the BES data plan, which can save you up to $20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry users!
RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed directly on a Microsoft Exchange or SBS server, recommended for up to 75 users, or on a stand-alone server which can support as many as 2,000 clients. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is ideal for smaller businesses who until now couldn't afford connecting their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate network.
The Express edition of RIM BlackBerry BES Server does not provide high availability, system monitoring, database mirroring, or desktop phone/PBX integration and reduces the available IT polices from 450 to 35. Also, BIS BlackBerry smartphone data plan clients will be required to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. After that they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry mobile messaging and organizer data experience including scheduling, address books, do lists, and notes. Those using the BES data carrier plan can continue to enterprise activate their BlackBerry smartphones wirelessly.
