BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) has unveiled significant advancements in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), specifically with BlackBerry UEM at the edge and BlackBerry UEM for the Internet of Things (IoT). These innovations aim to boost productivity and security by bringing workloads closer to end-users.
BlackBerry UEM at the edge leverages the BlackBerry Network Operations Center and integrates with AWS Local and Availability Zones, ensuring the secure placement of compute and storage services where data is generated and utilized. It offers compatibility with both on-premises and cloud-based BlackBerry UEM solutions.
Additionally, BlackBerry UEM for IoT extends its reach to IoT devices, providing visibility and management of IoT endpoints through integration with AWS IoT Greengrass. This unified endpoint management approach allows organizations to conveniently oversee both IT and IoT endpoints from a single console.
In a concurrent announcement, BlackBerry disclosed a partnership with ServiceNow, a leading digital workflow company, to automate device management for organizations. This collaboration involves integrating BlackBerry UEM and ServiceNow’s Flow Designer, with the goal of reducing administrative burdens on IT teams and enhancing security.
BlackBerry is known for providing intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments worldwide. Their offerings encompass devices and software platforms designed to manage security, mobility, and communications across hardware, programs, mobile apps, and IoT.
Earlier this year, BlackBerry and Adobe unveiled a collaboration to introduce BlackBerry UEM with Adobe Experience Manager Forms, developing a secure forms solution for mobile that meets the stringent security standards required by regulated industries.
Furthermore, BlackBerry is considering an initial public offering (IPO) for its IoT business following the separation of its IoT and Cybersecurity business units into two independent entities. This strategic move is intended to allow shareholders to better evaluate the performance and future potential of each business individually, granting each entity the flexibility to pursue its unique growth strategy and capital allocation policies, according to the company’s management.
