For small businesses, BlackBerry delivers competitive advantage and ROI by helping maximize every opportunity. And for anyone who leads a busy life, BlackBerry offers a way to stay on top of all your communications from one compact device!
BlackBerry was introduced less than six years ago as a wireless email solution, and was quickly adopted by many large organizations in North America. Since then it has evolved into an industry-leading wireless data platform, providing access to a wide range of applications on a variety of devices around the world. It continues to meet the needs of enterprises and government organizations, and has grown to also address the needs of small/medium businesses and individual mobile professionals.
BlackBerry operates on 70 networks in over 30 countries…and counting - there’s simply no stopping it.
BlackBerry keeps you ‘in-the-loop’ while you’re on the go with push-based technology that automatically delivers email and other data to your BlackBerry device. And with the integrated phone*, SMS*, browser and organizer applications, you can easily manage all your information and communications from a single, integrated device.
