BlackBerry Announces Two Pieces Of News

Two pieces of news hit the streets from BlackBerry today.

The first announcement is that DATEV, a software company and leading IT service provider in Europe for tax advisors, auditors and lawyers, has selected BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 (BES10) and they have also started the roll out of more than 1,000 BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Here’s why DATEV went that route:

“On a daily basis, our employees use their mobile devices to conduct confidential business, and require a reliable smartphone that can secure the transmission of business data across every endpoint, including the device, server and network,” explains Wolfgang Fischer, group leader ICT systems and mobile at DATEV. “With BlackBerry 10 smartphones and BES10, we have the best end-to-end solution in terms of usability, security and cost efficiency. Thanks to BlackBerry, our staff can access internal resources and other shared information on the go, without us having to worry about data loss.”

The second announcement is that a large number of Indian companies are moving to BES10 as well as BlackBerry 10. This shows that BlackBerry continues to have a big presence in a very large market which is very good for them.

Now let us see if this translates into a reversal of fortune for BlackBerry.
