And it just keeps coming…RIM today announced that its new Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution, BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10, is now available for download.

BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 is a combination of many services that IT administrators are desperately trying to get their hands on. These include: device management, industry leading security, and mobile applications management for BlackBerry® smartphones, BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets, and new BlackBerry 10 smartphones in a consolidated solution.

What is also smart is that RIM knows that not everyone in the business will have a Blackberry phone so it has also added the ability to manage Android™ and iOS® devices from its console.

As we know RIM has always been strong in the corporate environment and with many years under its belt servicing this market, it has developed a strong platform to manage the BYOD trend and make life much more bearable for IT people – especially in corporates where security and integrity of data is important.

Key Features for BlackBerry 10 smartphones with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10

• Support for secure separation of work and personal applications and data on BlackBerry 10 smartphones through BlackBerry Balance technology.

• Support for seamless and secure access to work email, content and secure connectivity to “behind the firewall” applications and data.

• BlackBerry® World™ for Work, the new corporate app storefront for BlackBerry 10 smartphones that allows organizations to easily manage apps for employees. Administrators can push and install the organization’s mandatory apps to both corporate and personal-owned devices and publish recommended apps to employees.

• Rich management controls for securing and managing work profiles including hierarchical group management with Active Directory integration, support for customizable administrative roles with granular capabilities, an intuitive enterprise enrolment process for employees that offers a self-service console, and centralized control of assignable profiles for email, SCEP, Wi-Fi®, VPN and proxy servers.
