The software plus service connects to messaging and collaboration software (MDaemon Messaging Server,[1] Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, Novell GroupWise) on enterprise networks to redirect emails and synchronize contacts and calendaring information between servers, desktop workstations, as well as mobile devices.
To support the growing number of multiple devices, ownership models, and operating environments, BlackBerry reinvented Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) by bringing together Mobile Device Management, Security, Unified Communications and Applications by launching BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (BES 10).
Unified Communication - it enables enterprises to integrate voice, messaging, PIM, apps, and social experiences.
As of 2010, RIM is offering free the Blackberry Enterprise Server Express edition with no user limitations.
It enables near-instant seamless mail and calendar integration with your existing exchange server (incoming emails often appear on the Blackberry handset before they appear in the Outlook or OWA clients), which is an advantage over the existing Outlook Web Access model that the Blackberry Internet Service offers.The free download requires a license code, which may be delayed due to demand.
BPSE provides a "...wireless communications and collaboration solution[buzzword] designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses."
BPS is based on the 4.1 code, but with a more simplified management tool, a limited number of patches are being released.
