BerrySync Overview
Many organizations have asked for a BlackBerry1 email and PIM (calendar, contacts, and tasks) wireless mobility solution that directly connects to their email platform but does not require any middleware server or software. The BerrySync solution provides organizations of all sizes secure, real-time, wireless synchronization of email and PIM to and from any BlackBerry. BerrySync2 provides direct connect support to several email platforms namely Exchange Server 2003/2007, Windows Small Business Server 2003, Kerio Messaging Server, and Zimbra Collaboration Suite. BerrySync provides organizations with a synchronization solution that offers them support on all popular cellular voice and data networks as well any 802.11x wireless network.

With BerrySync, users have the ability to compose, reply, forward, or delete their email while mobile. A variety of email attachment formats is supported as well. Email folder synchronization, including sent, draft, and trash folders, are all configurable on the BlackBerry. The user can also configure the frequency at which he/she receives messages and the synchronization range, which serves to control the quantity of messages kept on the BlackBerry. Support for accepting or declining meeting invitations is also available, as well as remote access to the organization's Global Address Book. Users can also configure how messages are cleaned up on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

The BerrySync solution provides Over-the-Air synchronization of email, calendar, contact, and task information, freeing users from cradling their BlackBerry to a PC to maintain synchronization. BerrySync provides a single solution supporting any BlackBerry over a variety of wireless networks such as CDMA/1XRTT/EVDO, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G-HSDPA or any 802.11x network.

The BerrySync solution utilizes a "direct push" or "scheduled push" connection when connecting any BlackBerry to the user’s email platform. With BerrySync all email, calendar, contact, and task information will be stored safely behind an organization's firewall while all data-in-motion is encrypted utilizing SSL. Should a user lose their BlackBerry, a remote wipe can be initiated to ensure all information on their BlackBerry is erased.
