New Blackberry Z10 Deployment:
Recently our company decided to refresh our mobile phones. We needed a smart phone that would work well with both our field based Technical and Sales teams. We were an existing Blackberry account so after careful review we decided familiarity for users and a patriotic sense of 'Oh Canada' would lead us to adopt the new Blackberry Z10 series phones.
To BES or not to BES, that is the question?
We now had a choice of which email platform to deploy to push our emails to and from our phones. We could continue to use BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or since the new models now supported Active Sync using Microsoft Exchange we could go that route.
Because the new Blackberry 10 Operating System required a refresh to a new version of BES, and our current BES server was over deployed it was appealing to use the already present Active Sync built into our Microsoft Exchange. So far so good, all we had to do now was configure it...hopefully this would be an easy task - however we found a great lack of information on exactly how to do it.
