BlackBerry Adds Windows 10 Support to Enterprise Software Platform
BlackBerry (BBRY) has unveiled a multi-operating system enterprise mobility management (EMM) software platform that supports Windows 10 devices.
The wireless communications giant has updated its enterprise software platform, which now delivers “greater security, productivity and collaboration across iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10 and Windows 10.”
BlackBerry said its new release, BES 12 v12.3, includes:
- Support for Windows 10 phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.
- Integration with BlackBerry WorkLife designed to allow enterprises “to easily manage corporate and personal phone numbers for split billing.”
- The ability to manages devices, apps and content across every major mobile platform.
“With the mobility needs of enterprises becoming increasingly complex, BlackBerry is focused on delivering solutions that help solve business challenges and allow for new levels of productivity — without compromising security and control,” said Billy Ho, BlackBerry’s executive vice president of enterprise product and value added solutions, said in a prepared statement. “Our latest platform updates support our commitment to providing market-leading mobile security and enterprise productivity while — most importantly — helping enterprises to protect private and sensitive information from threats.”
BlackBerry previously added to its EMM software portfolio as well.
The company in September acquired EMM software provider Good Technology for $425 million.
