Aspiring telecommunications operator Qtel introduced the BlackBerry smartphone to Qatar in 2008 and was committed to take the lead in the country by introducing new models and exciting new services to the market. Today, Qtel is only fulfilling its promise by launching what it calls the BlackBerry Business Express.
Available on any BlackBerry service plan from Qtel, the BlackBerry Business Express enables up to 75 users to operate through the same account with no additional server hardware. Paired with free BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express software, the BlackBerry Business Express service is a cost-effective solution giving secure access to Microsoft Exchange with no set-up or licensing costs.
Closing the gap between Qtel's enterprise-level clients, BlackBerry Business Express was developed to ensure that Qatar's small business community enjoys the same benefits as the big boys do. And because businesses do not require a hardware upgrade to implement the service, companies can be up and running with the new service quickly and without any hassle.
