You might recall that BlackBerry had announced that they were acquiring a company named AtHoc which specializes in secure, networked crisis communications. Yesterday, BlackBerry announced that they had completed the acquisition.
AtHoc technology enhances BlackBerry’s mission to provide secure communication solutions for the connected world. It will integrate with BlackBerry’s enterprise portfolio of cross-platform solutions and trusted global network to enable new capabilities for safety, security and mission-critical business communications. For example, new applications may include integrating AtHoc solutions with WatchDox for secure distribution of confidential documents during emergency situations. As part of BlackBerry’s value added solutions, AtHoc’s current portfolio will continue to be made available, including solutions such as AtHoc Connect™, which enable organizations to create their own secure, permission-based communities of individuals and groups that share critical messages and rich media during a crisis to rapidly resolve emergencies in real time assuring business continuity and support for life safety operations.
The company also put up a blog post here about the acquisition. It will be interesting to see how this and other recent BlackBerry acquisitions fit into the BlackBerry ecosystem and add value to the company.
