developed for and which are priority
• Mobile device lifecycles are very short
• New technologies causing confusion
• Business users need to access systems
behind the firewall
• Users demand what they want, when they
want it1

THE FACTS

presence should be a given

it should.

mind.

• BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10
solves the Mobile VPN issue
• Traditional VPN technology was
not designed for Mobile
• With secure containers, iOS and
Android devices can leverage the
same secure VPN as BlackBerry
smartphones
BlackBerry has also
created a unique and
secure way to route MDM
traffic through its
infrastructure, eliminating
the need to use a
separate VPNGartner, MDM Magic Quadrant, 2013

“As a result of having fallen
into app development as a
business necessity,
[enterprises]
are typically lacking in basic
app dev lifecycle skills…
To create some order out of
this potential mobile app
chaos, a systematic, full-
lifecycle approach is
needed.”
Andrew Borg – Aberdeen Group

“We’re serious about
multi-platform MDM
and even more serious
about multi-platform EMM”
John Chen, CEO BlackBerry

“Push notifications aren’t an
entirely new phenomenon,
but as mobile handset
growth continues to
accelerate (along with faster
handset releases), push
alerts only grow in
importance as a channel for
applications to communicate
with and re-engage users.”
