RIM have released a dedicated SharePoint client for BlackBerry Smartphones, enabling secure enterprise collaboration and putting document managements tools into the hands of mobile workers.

SharePoint versions 2007 and 2010 are supported. The solution requires BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5, and an additional RIM server component, the BlackBerry Social Networking Application Proxy Server, which should ideally be hosted on a separate physical server from the BES.
Device software version 5 or later is required on the Smartphone.

Features

Document based collaboration optimised for BlackBerry smartphones

• The BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint delivers highly secure file sharing, and document management, optimised for use on the BlackBerry smartphone.
• Check out, edit, check-in – Download, edit, and upload documents when out of the office, while version control keeps collaborative efforts in synch.
• Navigate folders and files – Search for and browse content to locate needed files, and add frequently used contents as favourites for quick access.
• Create and view content – Set up folders, and upload files.
• View details such as author, size, date modified and created, and preview documents before downloading.
• Calendar event support – view, open, and add calendar events from the client to the calendar on the BlackBerry smartphone, and vice-versa.

Simplified and intuitive user experience

• Built as a BlackBerry application means faster access to information. There’s no need to launch the browser and log in, and no time spent waiting for web pages to render.
• Tight integration with core BlackBerry smartphone features and applications such as Email, and Documents To Go®. For example, easily email colleagues links to files, contact document authors without leaving the BlackBerry Client for Microsoft SharePoint, and open, edit, and save downloaded documents with Documents To Go.

Highly Secure and Manageable for IT

Organisations can leverage the existing BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution, plus gain additional reporting and data optimisation with the BlackBerry® Social Networking Application Proxy.

Information Protection

• Existing permissions for Microsoft SharePoint are respected, and shared content is only available to those who have access.
• The advanced security features of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server employ high encryption standards to help protect intellectual property.
  Managed from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
• IT can enable or disable the “Tell A Friend” feature, or wirelessly push the application to users.
• Implement IT policies and set application permissions.

BlackBerry Social Networking Application Proxy

• Designed to optimise the data sent from Microsoft SharePoint to BlackBerry smartphones for improved performance.
• High Capacity infrastructure enables multiple Social Networking Application Proxy servers to be deployed to better serve a large number of users.
• High Availability infrastructure enables server traffic to be routed to other active servers if Social Networking Application Proxy server(s) become unresponsive or unavailable, to help ensure little to no impact on end users.
• Tracks how many BlackBerry smartphones are using the client, giving administrators the ability to ensure sufficient client access licenses have been purchased.
