BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (BlackBerry MVS) – BlackBerry MVS allows organizations to converge office desk phones
and BlackBerry smartphones, so users can access standard enterprise voice features whether at their desks or on the go.
BlackBerry MVS is comprised of three components: BlackBerry MVS Client, BlackBerry MVS Services, and BlackBerry
MVS Server. It unifies fixed and mobile voice communications so users can be reached at a single business phone number and
access enterprise voice features with an intuitive and integrated approach. BlackBerry MVS offers advanced security features
and system management functionality that permits organizations to route mobile calls through the PBX, automatically
authenticating BlackBerry smartphone users and enabling phone calls to be logged or recorded for corporate or regulatory
requirements.

lackBerry Enterprise Server Express
–
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is free server software that wirelessly and
securely synchronizes BlackBerry smartphones with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Windows Small Business Server.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express works with Microsoft Exchange 2010, 2007 and 2003 and Microsoft Windows Small
Business Server 2008 and 2003 to provide users with secure, push-based, wireless access to email, calendar, contacts, notes and
tasks, as well as other business applications and enterprise systems behind the firewall. Importantly, the server software utilizes
the same robust security architecture found in BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The software offers economical advantages to
small and medium -sized enterprises (“SMEs”) that desire some of the enterprise-grade security and manageability options of
BlackBerry Enterprise Server but do not require all of its advanced features. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express software also
provides a cost-effective solution that enables IT departments to meet the growing demand from employees to be able to connect
