| What is a ‘BES’? The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is
the software that must be deployed on a
separate server in order to synchronize data
between your email server and BlackBerry
wireless devices. BlackBerry Exchange means
that the BES is connected to your Exchange
server, so email, calendars, contacts and
folders are always accessible on a
BlackBerry device.
Deploying a BlackBerry
email server in-house is an expensive and
time-consuming process. It requires
thousands of dollars in up-front investment,
staff to maintain the server and software,
and security updates and patches. That's why
a hosted BES is the logical choice for
companies who want the anywhere, anytime
access provided by a BlackBerry email
server, but don't want to spend the money or
time it takes to deploy a BES in-house. |
What
is hosted BlackBerry? BlackBerry hosting means that the entire
BlackBerry Exchange service is managed for
you. It includes the BlackBerry email
server, all set-up and ongoing management.
With hosted BlackBerry, you just pay a low
per-user monthly fee and everything else is
taken care of.
BES hosting allows you to
give your staff anytime, anywhere access to
their Exchange email, calendars, contacts
and folders from their BlackBerry devices,
without having to pay the upfront costs,
hire additional IT staff or worry about
software and security upgrades and patches.
