Podcasts

This collection of lectures, interviews and panel discussions about BlackBerry® solutions for your business can help you make the best choices for your needs.

The costs of setup and doing better business: three BlackBerry solutions

You know you want the BlackBerry advantage, but you may not be sure of what service plan to choose. Do you go with BlackBerry Internet Service, BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution or Hosted BlackBerry® services? This podcast helps you decide, based on your budget as well as the functionality and flexibility you require.

The Travel Advantages of Your BlackBerry Device

No matter where you are, you can make the most of your time with a BlackBerry smartphone. Virtual real-time responsiveness lets you email, file information, update your calendar and more. Almost any time, anywhere. The days of waiting to get into the office to work are over; the office now fits in your hand.

Emergency Communications Using PIN Messages

No one wants to be in an emergency situation, but everyone should be prepared if something happens. Even when email is down, find out how you can stay in touch using your BlackBerry smartphone. And learn how PIN messaging gives you the assurance that your communication was sent, received and read. A 9/11 story illustrates how you can stay in touch even under the direst of circumstances.

The Security Aspects of BlackBerry Solutions

Some might think that sending information across a mobile device is risky. Not so with your BlackBerry smartphone. Using the same stringent encryption tools that banks rely on, we offer virtually unbreakable security. This applies to anything you do with your BlackBerry smartphone, whether you’re surfing the web, sending e-mails or checking your calendar.

Third Party BlackBerry Applications

It may be stating the obvious, but a BlackBerry smartphone is a computer. So it makes sense that it can make use of software written by other companies, including applications like Customer Relationship Management (CRM), dispatching, and managing finances.

Accessing Resources Behind the Firewall

Connecting with your company resources when you're on the road is yet another reason why your BlackBerry smartphone is indispensable. There are two completely secure ways to do it: with your carrier's web browser or with the BlackBerry® Browser. Find out which way makes the most sense for you.

Up-and-coming IT firm bumps up responsiveness and productivity levels

When it came to boosting the productivity of an established IT company, there was only one choice. Armed with BlackBerry smartphones, the company's sales team suddenly enjoyed the ability to enter data on the road instead of waiting to come in to the office to do it. The bottom line? More sales calls and less wasted time. While anyone can learn from this podcast, it's must-listening for anyone interested in making their CRM more efficient.

BlackBerry Devices: Advantages for the Construction Industry

The greatest tool this construction company uses doesn’t require safety boots to operate. Using BlackBerry smartphones, staff members were able to boost efficiency, responsiveness and customer satisfaction. This podcast isn’t just about building homes; it’s about building a better business.
