RIM BlackBerry recently released BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express (BESX), featuring NO COST software and CALs while providing the core accessibility, security, and administration functions of RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server including wireless sync and remote access to data and applications. And the cost savings don't end at free server software and CAL licenses. Customers also have the option to choose the BlackBerry Internet Service data carrier plan rather than the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data carrier plan, which can save your business $10-$20 a month for every one of your BlackBerry users!

RIM BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express can be installed directly on an Exchange or Small Business Server, which can handle up to 75 clients, or on a stand-alone server which can support as many as 2,000 users. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express is a great alternative for small- and medium-sized organizations who until now could not afford integrating their workers' BlackBerry smartphones to their corporate network.

The Express version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not offer high availability, system monitoring, SQL database mirroring, or desk phone/PBX support and reduces the supported policies from 450 to 35. In addition, BIS data plan users will be required to execute the first wired enterprise activation to connect to the BES. Subsequently they will enjoy the complete BlackBerry wireless email and personal organizer data environment which includes calendar, address books, tasks, and notes. Those using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server wireless data plan can still enterprise activate their devices wirelessly.
