The Low Down on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications
Get the ease and flexibility to deploy wireless applications - independent of email

The latest BlackBerry® server offering, BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ for MDS Applications, is designed for organizations that want to deploy BlackBerry with applications, but not necessarily wireless email.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications ties directly into the BlackBerry Mobile Data System™, which means you keep the management and control features of the standard BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and remove the requirement for users to be connected to an enterprise email account. Now, choose between deploying wireless email and applications, or applications-only.

The BlackBerry Enterprise Server for MDS Applications acts as the centralized link between wireless devices, wireless networks and enterprise applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM), sales force automation (SFA), field service automation (FSA) and business intelligence systems.
