BlackBerry 10 Will Come With Workplace Apps
BlackBerry 10 Will Come With Workplace Apps by UCStrategies Staff
With the launch of the BlackBerry 10 device, RIM and BlackBerry are at a crucial point in their history. Enterprises and enterprise developers have built workplace apps in anticipation of the release. Apps made by companies such as Cisco, SAP, Box, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Truphone, and BigHand will be available for BlackBerry 10 at the launch, according to RIM.
The vice president of Enterprise Partnerships at Research In Motion, Derek Peper, said: “The developer community for enterprise and government has been incredible in the support of BlackBerry 10. The community sees the potential of the BlackBerry 10 platform to help individuals and organizations make the shift from mobile communications to mobile computing, and have stepped forward with powerful, dynamic and user-friendly applications that can empower employees around the globe.”
RIM is highly committed to developers who are building for BlackBerry 10, and has made the development and management of applications speedy and efficient for organizations. The BlackBerry 10 Native SDK with Cascades can create graphically rich, high performance native apps in C/C++ or the Qt Modeling Language (QML), and the BlackBerry 10 WebWorks™ SDK for HTML5 developers will allow them to create native-like apps through the utilization of common web programming technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) – and these toolkits, amongst others, are available to developers.
In 2012, to take over the BlackBerry Alliance program, BlackBerry Partners for Enterprise was launched by RIM. The enterprise software and services community, as a result of this succession, gained more assistance. The BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour Enterprise Edition was also planned by RIM, and launched in 11 cities; this encouraged enterprise application developers and partners to create new or port existing applications (from other services) to BlackBerry 10.
The senior director of U.S. B2B & Channel Sales at RIM, Bryan Lee, stated that both businesses and personal users will be drawn to BlackBerry Balance as it enables the separation of business content items and personal content items on a device. (CY) Link
