Milan, Italy – BlackBerry Limited (Nasdaq: BBRY; TSX: BB), a global leader in mobile communications, announced today that Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV), AB Holding and Sapio are among the enterprises in Italy that are adopting BES®12: a multi-OS EMM solution by BlackBerry® to securely manage data, applications and devices.
BES12 centralizes device management from a single command and control center, and can manage any mobile deployment model such as BYOD, Corporate Owned Personally Enabled (COPE) and Corporate Owned Business Only (COBO). BES12 seamlessly supports iOS, Android™, Windows Phone®, BlackBerry® OS and BlackBerry® 10 smartphones and tablets, as well as a wide range of Samsung KNOX and Android for Work smartphones and tablets.
Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV) is one of the leading Italian shipping companies, supporting coastal navigation and passenger transport on the Mediterranean Sea.
“For GNV, security and mobile service availability are crucial to our operations, especially in mission-critical situations. We have a mixed mobile deployment model, including BYOD for most employees, and we use the COPE model with BlackBerry 10 smartphones for our ship captains, who require true end-to-end security,” said Paolo Beatini, CIO at Grandi Navi Veloci. “Thanks to the unified console of BES12, it has been easy to manage and distribute policies for a variety of devices with different operating systems. In addition, we have reduced downtime and have improved the quality of service to our users.”
AB designs and produces cogeneration plants and customized solutions for energy efficiency and distribution, with operations in 18 countries worldwide. With recent growth and international development of their business, AB selected BES12 as a comprehensive EMM solution in order to provide their employees with secure, fast and easy access to corporate information and data. At the same time, AB leverages the features of BES12 for Mobile Application Lifecycle Management (MALM).
“The integrated console on BES12 has simplified every day administration, while helping IT managers oversee and monitor mobile devices,” said Pietro Baronchelli, Head of Information Security at AB. “The BlackBerry solution allows our IT department to apply policies and access rights and protection for both individuals and groups of users. This is important for our company, which needs our employees to have access to sensitive data on their smartphones, without the risk of leaking confidential information.”
Founded in 1922, SAPIO Group operates in the Italian and international markets of the medical and industrial gas sector. Moving from a COBO mobile device strategy to a COPE model, SAPIO chose to upgrade to BES12. The solution allows the company to integrate all existing devices and manage them with a single console, applying policies while monitoring endpoints, applications and sensitive data.
“BES12 gives us the highest reliability when it comes to data protection and security, as well as the best performance in mobile device management,” said Riccardo Salierno, Director of IT Systems, SAPIO. “With BES12, SAPIO seamlessly transitioned to the COPE model which has enabled our employees to use their personal perimeter in a secure but less restricted way than before.”
“Customers like GNV, AB Holdings and SAPIO require that their information and company data remain secure, while also giving their employees choice in the device they want to use,” said Diego Ghidini, Enterprise Sales Director, BlackBerry Italy. “BES12 is the only EMM solution that offers secure and flexible management of devices, applications, and content for all BlackBerry smartphones and devices with other operating systems from one unified console. BES12 allows companies to align their corporate policies with end-user needs and preferences, without compromising corporate policies.”
