“BlackBerry has become an industry standard platform for wireless enterprise data and we are pleased to be expanding the popular BlackBerry experience to Novell GroupWise customers,” said Jim Balsillie, Chairman and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. “For GroupWise customers, especially in government, legal and healthcare sectors where Novell has such a strong presence, BlackBerry will provide IT departments with a secure, reliable and easy to manage wireless platform and end users with increased mobility and productivity.”
“We continue to work closely with RIM to tightly integrate the BlackBerry wireless platform with Novell GroupWise to deliver a compelling wireless solution for our global customers,” said Alan Nugent, chief technical officer at Novell. “BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Novell GroupWise will offer our customers a robust wireless platform to manage all of their wireless needs.”
