[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Earlier in the month we reported how BlackBerry were re-branding BBM protected to BBM Enterprise for both Android and iOS Platforms. The Android version of BBM Enterprise was available to download from the Google Play Store pretty quickly and today the company has now released the new app for iOS.
BBM Enterprise is a secure mobile, cross-platform, messaging and collaboration tool. It provides the same user- friendly experience that’s earned BBM millions of fans worldwide – with the end-to-end security enterprise needs.
BBM Enterprise allows users to take advantage of the speed, reliability and privacy of BBM for faster communication, collaboration and decision making while providing security conscious organizations enhanced security over corporate data.
BBM Enterprise is the ideal business communication tool because it is mobile and immediate. Unlike enterprise IM tools that were originally designed for use on the desktop, BBM Enterprise offers a truly mobile experience, on a variety of devices.
With BBM Enterprise, you only need one app to cover your mobile messaging and collaboration needs. Users know when their colleagues have received and read messages, so they can collaborate with confidence, in real-time. One-to-one chats, group discussions and file sharing all happen with the protection required by security-focused organizations – and all with an immediacy and accountability that’s hard to achieve through any other communication channel.
BBM Enterprise uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and leverages BlackBerry’s secure infrastructure, trusted by security-conscious and regulated organizations around the world, to protect data while it’s in transit and at rest. All the added security offered by BBM Enterprise happens in the background, so there’s no impact on the BBM user experience.
BBM and BBM Enterprise are two different BBM products
BBM is an app that is targeted for consumers, while BBM Enterprise is an app that is targeted to business users and requires a paid license to use. Administrators must entitle their employees to use BBM Enterprise
