Can you get enterprise email on a mobile phone?
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007I often get asked how someone can get enterprise email on a mobile phone. There are a number of ways to do this. You can buy a Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) and ‘Crackberries’ (Blackberry) for everyone. This may be a bit expensive at a $200 plus/device, a $70/month service and the price of the BES. Others actually forward their enterprise email to personal accounts like Gmail, Yahoo!, etc. This is a very bad idea and defeats the whole purpose of enterprise security and the compliance efforts of your CIO. The other option is to look for a mobile email enterprise server for mobile phones. A number of products are launching in the fall that could fit this bill. Stay tuned and have a good summer until then! Bricks and roses are welcome! …Sue
