BlackBerry gets recognition by Strategy Analytics

BlackBerry has proudly made an announcement that its Enterprise Service 10 (BES10) is the most cost-effective multi-platform enterprise mobility management solution, according to a report by the global market research firm Strategy Analytics.

“Our detailed report found that the pricing offered by BES10 creates a lowest-cost migration path from a TCO perspective. We attribute this to multiple factors, including the Enterprise Server Licence Trade-up programme, the impact of BlackBerry Software Assurance across its Advanced and Premium support categories, and new tiered support categories,” said Andrew Brown, Executive Director, Enterprise Research, Strategy Analytics.

“BlackBerry customers consistently tell us that cost, coupled with world-class security, is a top priority when choosing a multi-platform mobility management partner. The report exemplifies why BlackBerry is the only company that can support the full range of EMM requirements, from the most secure to the most open BYOD environments. Customers also recognize the additional security provided from our global NOC infrastructure. No other company has this range of capabilities and we will work diligently to earn the trust of enterprise customers globally,” said John Sims, President, Global Enterprise Solutions, BlackBerry. 

The Strategy Analytics report, “Enterprise Mobility Management: A Review of Total Cost of Ownership”, found that BES10 is the lowest cost Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution based on a five-year total cost of ownership (TCO). Migrating from BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5 (BES5) to a BlackBerry competitor is, on average, more than double the cost over 5 years than migrating from BES5 to BES10. The Strategy Analytics report went on to note that the “all inclusive” nature of the BlackBerry offering provides a tangible cost advantage which is then sustained throughout the TCO period.
