  • BlackBerry Technical Support Services: Industry-leading support that is included with all BES12 subscriptions and perpetual licenses. It helps businesses to evolve their EMM strategy and manage all complex and demanding requirements.
  • BlackBerry Value Added Services: BlackBerry through EMS offers a variety of Value Added Services and Solutions including:
    • BlackBerry Virtual SIM Services: Powered by the Virtual SIM Platform by BlackBerry, BlackBerry Virtual SIM Services are part of BlackBerry’s broad portfolio of multi-OS enterprise solutions and hosted on the trusted BlackBerry secure network.

    • Enterprise Identity by BlackBerry®: Provide organizations a simple way to manage cloud-based services with a single point of entitlement, control and audit for all cloud services, including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and internal applications. It will also make it easy for employees to access all their enterprise cloud applications by allowing them to use just one set of familiar network credentials.
    • VPN Authentication by BlackBerry: Allow employees to use their iOS, Android or BlackBerry smartphone for two factor authentication, which means no user passwords or PINs.

    • BBM Protected: BBM Protected offers an enhanced security model for BBM messages sent between Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry smartphones that protects corporate data in-transit by adding an additional layer of encryption to BBM.
    • Watchdox by BlackBerry: Applies security and advanced digital rights management (DRM) to documents going from preferred enterprise content repositories to multiple destinations within and outside an organization, including web, desktop and mobile.
