14 DAY TRIAL // Research In Motion (RIM) announced recently the availability of BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications.
The new software incorporates the industry-leading security, unique push-based architecture, reliability and administrative features of the BlackBerry platform to provide organizations with an easy and flexible solution for extending mobile applications to users, without the requisite of wireless email. BlackBerry Mobile Data System (MDS) is an integral component of the overall BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, enabling the secure and efficient flow of data between corporate data systems and BlackBerry handsets.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications provides a complete and optimized framework for creating, deploying and managing wireless applications for BlackBerry handsets. Key benefits of BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications include: - Providing the flexibility for software vendors, third party and in-house developers to create or extend business applications to mobile workers that do not have email accounts or do not require wireless email. - Enabling IT departments that currently manage their applications infrastructure separately from their email infrastructure, with a solution that allows them to deploy wireless applications under the same operational framework. - Ability for customers to leverage the strong and growing community of thousands of Java developers and BlackBerry ISV Alliance Program members developing wireless applications for BlackBerry. - Facilitating the ability for service providers to offer hosted wireless applications, such as a sales force or field service automation application, to their customers, independent of hosting an email environment for those users.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications is available for purchase from RIM carrier partners or on-line.
