The UAE’s first mobility solutions company, EMS, and BlackBerry announced that the companies are growing the core BlackBerry enterprise mobility solution for customers in the Middle East with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.
EMS is one of the largest distributors of BlackBerry smartphones and accessories in the region, supporting 100 mobile phone operators in 56 countries across the Middle East, Africa, CIS, Eastern Europe and South East Asia. As a partner to BlackBerry, EMS is dedicated to supporting the evolving needs of the reseller channel with BlackBerry’s latest enterprise mobility solution.
“In high penetration markets like the Middle East, it makes sense for enterprises to find ways to drive efficiency, scalability, flexibility and transparency in their mobility solutions, while putting the device at the center of everything they do,” said Babar Khan, CEO at EMS. “Our expertise is second-to-none when it comes to the implementation and support for the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 solution, and we are very pleased to work with our enterprise customers to roll out, upgrade and truly enhance their corporate mobile services with BlackBerry.”
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 is an enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution that builds on more than a decade of BlackBerry’s enterprise mobility expertise and is the most widely deployed mobility solution in enterprises today. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 offers mobile device management, mobile application management and secure mobile connectivity for BlackBerry 10 smartphones, as well as iOS and Android devices, through “Secure Work Space”, which separates work and personal apps and data. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 allows customers to fully experience the functionality and flexibility expected from a “Bring your own device” policy, while meeting CIOs’ security, reliability and cost-efficiency requirements. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 customers in the Middle East include Etisalat, Emirates NBD, Emirates Airlines and others.
Chris Corsi, Country Director at BlackBerry said, “Where multiple devices, ownership models, applications and operating environments exist, BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 perfectly balances end-user and corporate needs to keep workers productive. It eliminates the need for IT departments to configure and manage expensive VPN infrastructures, which are typically required to provide mobile device access to data and apps residing behind a corporate firewall. As our strategic channel partner for the region, EMS has extensive experience with the BlackBerry solution to deliver on our new enterprise mobility management solution, BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, locally.”
