The BlackBerry® development platform works well with IBM® technologies since both support industry standards. IBM’s middleware expertise combined with the BlackBerry solution’s mobile application potential are a perfect match.
IBM’s application suite has already been extended to BlackBerry smartphones in numerous mobile applications. Extensions have included:
- WebSphere Application Server
- WebSphere Portal
- Domino Databases
- Lotus Connections
- Lotus Sametime
- Lotus Quickr
Various BlackBerry development approaches can be used to develop mobile clients integrated with IBM technologies: Browser, RAD, or Java approaches all work well.
