The new BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Service 12 (BES12), an enterprise mobility solution: stakes and opportunities.

Henceforth we talk about the BlackBerry(R) Enterprise Service 12 (BES12), a new enterprise mobility solution. Meaning that, BlackBerry Enterprise Service has unified BES10 and BES5 to one platform.

With this new approach, BlackBerry Enterprise Service deploys its long term strategy and demonstrates its deeply willingness to prioritize productive end-user experience, simplify enterprise mobility management (EMM) environment and to enable organizations to develop and deploy new services to mobile devices more faster.

As a forward-thinking IT leader with global operations, Connectikpeople.co encourages this momentum, and suggests Blackberry, an increasing focus on the flexibility, security, and cost-effectiveness.

At Connectikpeople.co we know that, this represents an investment for the future. Because, as you can observe the proliferation of mobile devices, and increased mobile application adoption, require enterprises to broaden their mobility strategy beyond the simple management of devices, to include developing, deploying, securing, and managing mobile applications of all genres and capabilities.

Connectikpeople.co observes that, the new BES12 platform will focus on delivering

the following capabilities:

Backwards Compatible and Future Proof: the new platform provides the foundation for customers to integrate new mobile endpoints, enhanced user self-service, advanced service management, highly scalable datacenter-grade deployments, and implement active-active high availability clusters for ultimate reliability.

 Enhanced Multi-Platform Support: BlackBerry will add support for Windows Phone 8 in addition to already supported iOS(R), Android(TM) and BlackBerry 10.

Advanced Service Management: Proactive monitoring and systems tuning

can deliver a complete end-to-end perspective of the BES management platform and automates problem resolution.

Connect Cloud and Mobile: The flexibility and scalability of the new

    BES12 architecture aims to provide users with the ability to move from

    on-premise to the cloud effortlessly and securely. The new platform will

    support all deployment models, including on-premise, public cloud,

    private cloud and hybrid environments.

  Mobilize Apps: here we talk about tools and integration points to easily develop and deploy securely connected enterprise apps across all supported platforms.
