Auto-forwarding

• Copies of email messages that are sent to a clients’ TELUS BlackBerry email address (i.e. username@telus.blackberry.net ) can be automatically forwarded to another third-party web mail account (such as Yahoo! Mail® or Gmail) and have access to the same MDS services, regardless of what BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) they are associated with.*

Easy-viewing

• PowerPoint presentations and PDFs can be viewed in a convenient slideshow format.

You can check what version of BIS you have by logging onto the BIS site. If you are on 1.8 there will be a message asking you to upgrade to 2.4. If you are on 2.4 there won't be a message.

The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server (BES) manages messaging redirection, enables access to corporate data, provides encryption, and enables administrators to centrally manage their BlackBerry® deployment. It works with your existing enterprise information systems and integrates with Microsoft Exchange, Novell Groupwise and Lotus Domino environments. BES works with existing corporate data stores and enterprise applications, such as CRM, ERP, business intelligence and document management systems, allowing organizations to extend this information wirelessly‡.

You can also view Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF, WordPerfect, and ASCII file attachments on your BlackBerry™ device. 

Key Benefits

• Send and receive email from your corporate email address
• Wireless calendar synchronized with tasks and contacts
• End-to-end security using Triple DES Encryption
• Role Based Administration – allows IT administrators to assign specific roles to a set of administrators and conduct enterprise-wide policy-management
• Mobile Data System – allows enterprises to easily develop and securely push corporate applications and data

BES is ideal for large companies (30+ users). For small/medium businesses (2-30 users) who would like the benefits of BES, but without the large-scale complexity, BlackBerry® Professional Services (BPS) is also available.

To find out more or to order BES or BPS, contact your TELUS sales representative or nearest authorized TELUS location.
