BlackBerry® smartphones on the ACS Network - Get the best of both worlds

BlackBerry smartphones set the corporate standard
BlackBerry smartphones are always on, always connected and protect your emails and company data with advanced encryption security. BlackBerry smartphones provide users with wireless access to a full suite of business applications including:

  • Email with access to your corporate email system with attachments converted to a BlackBerry specific format
  • Texting and Instant Messaging
  • Organizer for Contacts, Calendar and Memos
  • Voice service with integrated speakerphone
  • The fastest Internet access and connections to your corporate data and intranet
  • Thousands of third party business applications

The BlackBerry smartphone's push technology makes you more productive by automatically delivering messages and data without having to initiate a connection, access the server or download the content. And BlackBerry smartphones have superior battery life, letting you go for days without recharging.

BlackBerry® Enterprise Server gives you secure entry to your organization's internal network
Many corporations have standardized with BlackBerry smartphones because the BlackBerry Enterprise Server provides secure access to corporate email, applications and data.

BlackBerry smartphones are unique in providing end-to-end security for all wireless data sent through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server using advanced encryption standards that meet strict industry and government specifications for security.

Your BlackBerry Enterprise Server protects your corporate data with triple DES, end-to-end encryption so you can connect to corporate databases and use sensitive CRM and ERP applications without fear. As a further precaution, in case a device is lost or stolen, your IT staff can lock the missing device or even erase all information on it.

If your organization already uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, whether the corporate offices are in Alaska, Arizona or Australia, your BlackBerry smartphone from ACS will provide you the same connectivity as the rest of your colleagues.

For Alaska organizations that don't have but want the functionality of a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, ACS local sales and tech support has partnered with Research in Motion (RIM), developers of BlackBerry, to work with your IT staff to make the installation a simple one.

The power of the BlackBerry smartphone is also available even if you don't want to manage your own server
Individuals and small organizations without the IT support required for a BlackBerry Enterprise Server can still take advantage of the BlackBerry smartphone's secure messaging, Internet access and other features. ACS can provide the network support using the BlackBerry® Internet Service.

"The typical end user converts 60 minutes of downtime into productive time per day. The average BlackBerry smartphone user reports that BlackBerry smartphones increase the efficiency of the teams that they work with by 38%." - Ipsos Reid study on BlackBerry ROI 2007
