Globe to offer BlackBerry wireless solutions

GlobeSolutions has forged a partnership with Research In Motion (RIM), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative wireless solutions for the worldwide mobile communications market, to offer the BlackBerry wireless solutions to its corporate clients.

BlackBerry will provide integrated access to e-mail, data and phone applications via a tri-band, colored wireless handheld to corporate customers of Globe Telecom.

GlobeSolutions’ corporate clients will soon benefit from BlackBerry’s integrated access to Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino environments, which will enhance GlobeSolutions’ existing portfolio of mobile productivity solutions, and expand the breadth of high quality wireless services to a wider market.

"We are very pleased to be working together with Globe Telecom to bring the innovative BlackBerry solution to its customers," said Mark Guibert, vice president for corporate marketing of Research In Motion.

"BlackBerry has developed a very strong following in North America and Europe and we believe Globe’s customers will value the productivity benefits enabled by wireless access to e-mail and corporate data," he added.

For corporate customers, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange or IBM Lotus Domino and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to e-mail and other corporate data.

"BlackBerry is a great addition to GlobeSolutions’ suite of enterprise mobility solutions," said Dan David, Globe Telecom’s corporate business head.

"With its platform for delivering wireless information to the mobile professional, our corporate subscribers will find that BlackBerry complements GlobeSolutions’ business-building mobile services that have made us the partner of choice in the Philippine corporate market," he said.
