BlackBerry Storm - Perfect Storm for the Enterprise?
Posted by: TEMIA in Mobility Management on

The BlackBerry Storm is the latest (and really the 1st since the iPhone is not mainstream in most enterprises) "must have" device for enterprise users......[a customer] spent $15,000 on the Storm the first week is was out.... Most of them will wish they had waited for the bugs to get worked out...triggering a long series of help desk, software upgrades and warranty replacement activities that will now be thrust on enterprises help desks and shared service groups...btw this just the way it is each time one the device manufactures brings out a new "must have" device.
A best practice for customers would be to use a Mobility management platform and exclude newly introduced devices from the catalog until someone from their IT has tested and certified the device for inclusion in the catalog. When coupled with cogent strategy and policy the Mobility platform can prevent problems before they spiral into organizational headaches that will takes months to resolve.

My take on the Storm… BlackBerry has taken their first step into a new arena with the release of the Storm and its touch screen technology. We are hearing that there can be some issues with the screen freezing when certain key combinations are hit in unison and other minor glitches. Unlike the iPhone or Android with this device being on Verizon and having the backing of the brand name of BlackBerry we do think that the enterprise space will see the need to support this new device in higher numbers since it should be more accepted by enterprises and their IT teams. |
