BlackBerry has announced productivity and security enhancements to its enterprise software platform designed to power the Enterprise of Things. As part of BlackBerry Secure, the most secure and comprehensive platform to connect people, devices, processes and systems, BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Suite provides secure, management policies and controls across key platforms (iOS, Android, Windows 10, macOS, and Samsung Knox) and device ownership models such as BYOD and Corporate Owned.
It can be delivered on premises, as a cloud service, and now includes the following features to improve productivity and security:
- Manage and secure Microsoft Office 365 mobile applications.
- Access business data on unmanaged laptops.
- Provide in-line comments, @Mentions and DocuSign.
- Leverage application analytics.
- Manage more wearables.
“The explosion of devices and consumer applications is making it increasingly difficult for enterprises to balance information security and compliance with productivity and connectivity,” said Billy Ho, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Software, BlackBerry. “MDM and EMM are simply not enough, which is why we offer a Unified Endpoint Management platform that lets companies secure and manage these devices, plus the associated applications. By making it easier to use, we are removing one of the biggest IT challenges – getting employees to use corporate applications.”
