Enterprise BlackBerry Service is designed for United Messaging clients with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes platforms. For iPlanet platform clients, United Messaging already offers its e-Link wireless messaging services.
Enhanced Security and Virus Protection
When integrated with United Messaging's Message Control service, enterprises using BlackBerry get enhanced virus protection and can manage wireless Internet mail traffic by reducing the amount of junk mail received, blocking messages with inappropriate content, setting message size limits, and accessing real time traffic reports.
