BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) allows BlackBerry Smartphones to connect to your organization's intranet. There are two BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) options: BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express.

Product Details


BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) software provides a secure server behind your organization's firewall allowing you to:

  • access your email and corporate data,
  • use your existing corporate email address to send and receive email from your device, and
  • sync your corporate contacts and calendar with your BlackBerry device.

BES software integrates seamlessly with Microsoft® Exchange, Lotus® Domino T, or Novell GroupWise®, and provides end-to-end security with triple DES encryption, an industry leading security standard.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a free alternative to BES that includes many features designed for small to medium-sized business. BES Express enables you to quickly and easily add a BlackBerry solution to your business. It provides advanced BlackBerry Smartphone features with no additional software or user license fees, and it works with any BlackBerry Smartphone plan. BES Express also allows employees with personal BlackBerry Smartphones to access the office intranet for work purposes.

BES Express is certified for up to 75 BlackBerry Smartphone users when installed on the same server as your Microsoft® Exchange 2003 SP2, 2007 SP1, 2010 or Windows® Small Business Server 2003 and 2008. If you need to support more than 75 users, BES Express can be installed on a separate server and can then support up to 2000 BlackBerry Smartphone users per server.
