What is this? It’s their entry into the MDM (mobile device management) market. I think this is a great idea but just a little to late. RIM should have come to the table ages ago, because right now there are a ton of vendors already providing these features for managing multiple OS mobile devices.

However, if they can refine the product to the standards of BES, then maybe they can steal market share away from the existing vendors. However they did themselves no favours by being late to the game. This seems to be RIM’s life story.

One of those is Citrix as i mentioned. But what can you use to track and wipe devices that are not BlackBerries managed under BES? Well for you managed services folks out there, Kaseya has a great solution. Kaseya now has a Mobile Device Management module you can purchase from them.

This allows you to not only remotely wipe devices, but also geo-locate the devices. Not a bad idea. This is accomplished through the installation of an agent on the mobile device which is downloaded through the various mobile device app stores available.
