For BlackBerry-obsessed business owners, the cost of trading e-mails on the go is about to get a lot cheaper.
In hopes of expanding its customer base beyond the corporate set, Research in Motion recently released the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express, designed specifically for small and midsize businesses.
The Server Express sells for $1,099 and includes five licenses -- close to $2,000 less than the nearest Enterprise Solution package.
The Server Express software is available by download for new customers, as well as current BlackBerry customers who signed on within the past 30 days. Like BlackBerry’s larger Enterprise Solution, the new server can be integrated with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus, Domino, or Novell GroupWise.
“Small-business people were looking for a Solution that had the security and liability of Blackberry at an affordable price,” said David Wilmering, RIM’s director of product marketing.
