Three Canadian Companies Standardize On BlackBerry

BlackBerry announced that they scored in their backyard. Actually they scored three times. Three Canadian companies have invested in BlackBerry hardware and software. Those companies are:

Volker Stevin, one of the largest heavy civil and highway maintenance contractors in Western Canada, is deploying BES10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones as the company’s sole EMM solution.

The City of Waterloo continues its long-standing partnership with BlackBerry in innovating and injecting new ideas and technologies to provide valued services that help build the best quality of life for its citizens. In addition to deploying BES10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones for its workforce, the City of Waterloo also worked with BlackBerry to develop the Ping Street mobile application on the BlackBerry OS platform. The first-of-its-kind mobile application provides Waterloo citizens real-time access to location-based information including garbage and recycling calendars, construction detours, road closures and more. The City of Waterloo has also embraced BBM to stay connected and share secure real-time updates and news with its employees during emergency situations. BBM Groups used during emergencies sped up response time and drastically improved collaboration and critical communication during emergency incidents.

Samuel, Son & Co., Limited, Canada’s oldest and largest metals service center and metal manufacturing company, has chosen BES10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones as their core end-to-end business mobility solution.

In Canadian terms, that’s a hat trick.
