June 6 – Singapore, SG - BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ:
BBRY; TSX: BB), a global leader in mobile communications, and M1 Limited (M1),
Singapore’s most vibrant and dynamic
communications company, today announced that new and
re-contracting M1 mobile business customers can have BES12 Cloud, a
cross-platform EMM solution by BlackBerry, bundled for free[1]
with their new or renewed monthly plans.
M1 is the first carrier in Southeast Asia to launch BlackBerry’s
Enhanced SIM-BasedLicensing (ESBL), simplifying the way corporates deploy and use
enterprise mobility management (EMM) solutions. BES12
is built on BlackBerry’s trusted network and offers multi-OS support managed
through a single console for any mobile deployment policy, such as personal
devices used by staff, or issued by companies. It enables organizations to
remotely provision employees with corporate applications, assign appropriate
usage rights, and secure their devices against unauthorised use.
BlackBerry’s cloud-based BES12 EMM
solution supports all major mobile operating systems - iOS, Android™, Windows Phone® and
BlackBerry® - and allows for quick and cost-effective deployment, without the need
for on-premise servers, equipment or professional installation.
M1 is also offering customers upgrades that include advanced
EMM features, but still on a monthly subscription model. Based on their
mobility strategy and what they need, this will provide customers with access
to the full suite of BES12 features, including secure mobile connectivity,
secure applications and separating work and personal content. Therefore,
customers do not need to commit to an annual license, but instead enjoy the
flexibility of paying for only what they use. Charges are reflected in the customers’
monthly mobile business plans.
Mr. Willis Sim, Chief Product
Development and Corporate Solutions Officer, M1 says, “M1 is pleased to be the first in Southeast Asia to bring
the benefits of BES12 to customers with easy deployment through Cloud. This partnership with BlackBerry simplifies the
way customers buy and use mobility, driving efficiencies and ultimately helps businesses
enhance the way they service their own customers.”
Carl Wiese, President Global Sales,
BlackBerry says, “As the leading global EMM provider, BlackBerry is always
working with our partners to drive additional value and help them to deliver a
better experience for customers. With BES12, BlackBerry is uniquely
positioned to combine an operator’s device and data billing with customers’
consumption of additional services. In an important economic hub like
Singapore, we are excited to partner with M1 to bring our productive, secure
and flexible business solution to more customers in a way that is very easy to
deploy and manage.”
Global partners around the world have
announced their
support of BlackBerry’s ESBL service in markets such as the UK, Hong Kong,
India, Taiwan, Malaysia and Germany.
