Integration with existing accounts — With BlackBerry Connect users can integrate a variety of email addresses including personal and work supported addresses. The application uses the ability of push email technology and separates each account into their own inbox, meaning you can truly separate work from pleasure.
Attachment viewing — Viewing email attachments is also a breeze thanks to BlackBerry Connect's support for a ton of attachment types including Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, along with Adobe PDF, Corel, Wordperfect, HTML,and ASCII formats.
Wireless email synchronization — Just as users can with ActiveSync they also receive the ability to sync between their devices and with their desktop inbox.
Advanced security features — With BlackBerry Connect users also receive complete security via some of the strongest encryption standards available in the industry.
Wireless calendar synchronization — You can also sync to your desktop and device calendars which will allow you to keep up to date with changes made on both hardware applications.
Remote address lookup — This is a feature that is also available with Windows Mobile 6.1 with Remote Address Lookup users can search their company directories via BES and find all of the contact information they could possible need.
Centralized management and IT control — Users can use different applications yet management can occur from a simple interface that is run by the IT team.
Those are some of the main advantages that are offered via BlackBerry Connect. With this technology users don't necessarily have to use BlackBerry devices, yet they can be offered the same technologies, while allowing tech teams the ability to control every device with the same software. This is great for scalability and in circumstances in which the company may need to use Windows Mobile applications but still want to keep their BES up and running without operating multiple servers and going through the trouble of integrating them to operate cohesively.
