BlackBerry Mobile Fusion is RIM’s next-generation mobile device
management (MDM) solution for enterprise customers in the Philippines is
now available.
It
delivers a cost-efficient, secure, reliable and scalable solution that
consolidates the management of smartphones and tablets running
BlackBerry OS (including support for BlackBerry PlayBook and future
BlackBerry 10 devices) as well as Android and iOS, and provides a
single, unified, web-based console for easily managing all devices.
“For businesses and government, managing a mix of mobile devices on
any scale is chaotic. Organizations face pressure to allow employees to
bring their own devices into the workplace, and they are looking to RIM
as the global leader in the enterprise mobility space to solve that
problem,” said Alan Panezic, Vice President, Enterprise Product
Management and Marketing at Research In Motion. “BlackBerry Mobile
Fusion allows organizations to manage a mixed environment of devices in
the most secure, simple, and cost efficient manner possible. It also
means that businesses and government do not have to move to the lowest
common denominator on security for all the devices they need to manage.”
BlackBerry Mobile Fusion integrates the market-leading features and
security architecture of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (version 5.0.3),
providing advanced IT management and controls, a single outbound
security connection (256-bit AES encrypted “BlackBerry VPN”),
enforceable IT policies, support for BlackBerry Balance technology, and
over-the-air app and software installation capabilities for the
management of BlackBerry smartphones and PlayBook tablets (as well as
future BlackBerry 10 devices).
For the wide range of government workers around the world and
approximately 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies using BlackBerry
smartphones today, BlackBerry Mobile Fusion allows them to leverage
their current end-to-end BlackBerry security infrastructure and have
flexible options for individually liable devices while keeping costs
low.
In addition to providing unmatched functionality for BlackBerry
devices, BlackBerry Mobile Fusion also provides comprehensive mobile
device management capabilities for iOS and Android devices including:
