BlackBerry MVS 5.0 Now Available From BBH Solutions
Thursday, July 22, 2010
BBH Solutions, Inc., a leading New York City provider of converged network solutions and custom IT maintenance plans, announced today that it is now registered with BlackBerry as a reseller of BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (MVS) version 5.0 in the United States. BlackBerry MVS is designed to unify desk phone features with BlackBerry® smartphones. Calls can be made on Wi-Fi networks to save on mobility costs and improve productivity. BlackBerry MVS provides one business phone number, one caller ID, and one voice mailbox at any location.
BBH Solutions is a leading reseller of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution, including client access licenses (CALs), and BlackBerry® Technical Support Services agreements in the United States. Beyond the sale, BBH Solutions has developed a staff of qualified personnel that can install, integrate, and maintain BlackBerry environments throughout the country. BBH Solutions will be offering sales, design, and project services for BlackBerry MVS 5.0 installations into the Cisco Unified Communications environment.
“We’re proud to be eligible to sell and install BlackBerry MVS 5.0,” said Bruce Hoernecke, President and CEO of BBH Solutions. “Our team, with expertise in both MVS 5.0 and Cisco’s IP PBX environments, is ready to bring this exciting solution to companies that wish to enable their users to leverage Cisco phone features on their BlackBerry® smartphones.”
Recently, BBH Solutions provided integration services for the BlackBerry MVS Experience exhibit at WES 2010 in Orlando Florida. From April 27-29, visitors were able to see the new MVS version 5.0 working in a live environment via a Cisco SRST Gateway connected back to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
BlackBerry MVS allows business users to make or take enterprise desk phone calls almost anywhere in the world from their BlackBerry smartphones. All calls made using BlackBerry MVS are routed through the user’s company phone system providing the capability to make company extension calls to anyone in their corporate address book and to easily access your corporate voicemail. Calls can be made over Wi-Fi at work, at home, or in Wi-Fi hotspots to address cost, coverage, and communication needs.
BlackBerry MVS seamlessly integrates with BlackBerry Enterprise Server to maximize an existing BlackBerry wireless infrastructure. IT administrators can apply policies to regulate incoming and outgoing calls, implement security measures, and audit telephony activities. BlackBerry MVS is designed to allow administrators to effectively manage phone activities from a central point and promote employee productivity.
Flexible administration options are also available to manage user profiles and features, which allow administrators to apply the most cost-effective user profiles for their organization (i.e., Voice over Wi-Fi, Voice over Mobile, or a combination).
Each call from a BlackBerry smartphone is automatically authenticated by the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to help prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing the company’s PBX system. Calls made through BlackBerry MVS are routed and anchored through the enterprise PBX to help ensure that company policies are met. The BlackBerry Enterprise Server has achieved multiple security accreditations and through its integration into the BlackBerry Enterprise Server environment, BlackBerry MVS adopts these security capabilities. Administrative tools allow IT to oversee and control the use of BlackBerry smartphones from one central location, helping to manage a company’s resources effectively.
