Small to midsize businesses are adopting wireless solutions at a fast pace. There is opportunity to capitalize on this growing market trend with a best-in-class solution that can scale as those organizations grow in size and needs.

BlackBerry Professional Software balances affordability, performance and reliability in a wireless solution tailored to smaller businesses that prefer to use an e-mail server and plan to support up to 30 mobile employees with BlackBerry smartphones. Priced for smaller businesses that want to go mobile without investing in new server hardware, BlackBerry Professional Software offers the right combination of security, mobility and value.

Scalable, Flexible and Configurable
BlackBerry Professional Software installs on your client's existing e-mail server. Unlike other solutions currently on the market, BlackBerry Professional Software supports Exchange Server 5.5, 2000, and 2003/2007. Customers are not required to upgrade to Exchange Server 2003/2007, resulting in fewer unexpected deployment costs. Plus, existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server -- Small Business Edition customers can easily migrate to the new solution at no additional cost, and can purchase additional BlackBerry smartphones to enable more employees to stay connected while on the go.

Easy to Manage Security and Administration
BlackBerry Professional Software simplifies the installation process and enables BlackBerry partners to focus on creating opportunities for solutions management. Streamlined for deployment on a single server (often the e-mail server), the solution minimizes the total cost of ownership for the customer. In addition, the Pre-install Assistant performs a technical assessment of the network environment and provides a comprehensive checklist of items that must be addressed prior to install, ensuring a proactive approach to the installation that will improve customer satisfaction while saving time and effort for BlackBerry partners.

Introduce Your Customers to the Benefits of BlackBerry
If small-business customers are seeking proof that BlackBerry solutions can increase their productivity and responsiveness, consider that an investment in BlackBerry wireless solutions achieves an average 238-percent ROI and recovers the investment within approximately five months. In addition, a recent study performed by Ipsos Reid determined that the average BlackBerry smartphone user converts 60 minutes of downtime into productive time per day, which translates to an extra 250 hours of productivity per year. BlackBerry Professional Software provides a new opportunity for BlackBerry solution partners to meet the demands of an emerging market -- a flexible mobile solution that is custom-built and priced right for small to midsize businesses.
