Waterloo, ON and Hamburg, Germany – ISEC7, a global provider of mobile business services and software solutions, and BlackBerry® (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) today announced an agreement to jointly support multinational and local customers with BlackBerry® 10 Readiness Services.
The joint effort leverages the BlackBerry enterprise mobility platform supported by ISEC7’s globally managed mobility services to offer customers the best possible experience for transitioning to BlackBerry® 10 and BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10.
