Vepica C.A. Upgrades Business Mobility Platform to BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10

Caracas, Venezuela – BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX:BB), a world leader in mobile communications, today announced that Vepica (Venezolana Proyectos Integrados C.A.), a global industry leader with over 40 years of experience in designing and developing construction projects in engineering, procurement and management, has upgraded to BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10 (BES10) as its Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution to help improve the performance, security and  productivity of the company.

Using BES10's simple, unified console allows Vepica to manage BlackBerry®, iOS® and Android™ devices, enabling collaboration and communication among its mobile workers around the world. BES10 gives Vepica’s administrators the ability to deploy key applications and services that can boost end user productivity, while keeping high security standards throughout the workflow.

“The accelerated growth we’re experiencing as a company demands that we adopt a solution like BES10, which provides us with secure remote access to the different services and features of our business systems. At the same time, the platform increases productivity and continuous, real-time communications among our workforce,” says Marianela Gil, VP of Information Technology at Vepica.

“One of the main reasons we chose the BlackBerry solution is that it gives us the flexibility to manage devices on multiple platforms, effectively and securely. Additionally, our corporate BYOD policy required the flexibility of the BES10 solution, which we viewed as a decisive value add,” explained Marianela.

“BlackBerry is very proud to have Vepica C.A., one of the most renowned companies in its sector in Latin America, join the group of companies that trust BES10 to be its EMM platform because of its productivity and security features,” said Josh Zelaya, Enterprise Sales Manager for Venezuela at BlackBerry. “BlackBerry provides the best and most secure mobile enterprise solution, ensuring an easier way of doing business all around the world.”

The BES10 installation process was designed for efficiency. Once installed, customers can easily manage their BlackBerry 10 and earlier smartphones as well as iOS and Android devices. The solution provides customers like Vepica C.A. with an optional set of extended IT policy settings, including corporate-only use of devices.
