BlackBerry Software Vendor News
BoxTone and Neverfail Team up for BlackBerry
BoxTone, the most successful and powerful name in BES monitoring has teamed up with Neverfail... Neverfail is a world-class provider of disaster recovery services. Can you sense the powerful apps that could come out of this partnership in the future? Both vendors have amazing track records of success.
From the official press release:
“The combination of Neverfail and BoxTone truly is a natural fit,” said Nick Harmer, VP of Channel and Sales Development for Neverfail. “As adoption of the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution continues to grow globally, more and more enterprises recognize the importance of a mobility platform and are looking for continuous availability across the extended BlackBerry environment. Neverfail looks forward to working with BoxTone to deliver comprehensive availability protection and a proactive management, monitoring and support solution for BlackBerry deployments.”
As time goes on, we'll no doubt see some interesting software applications from this dynamic duo. I'll keep an eye on this partnership in the months and years to come!
BoxTone and Neverfail will both be present at WES, so we'll have to get Kevin to stop by for more juicy information direct from these world-class companies.
