BlackBerry Technology Overview
| Technology | With emphasis on enabling government staff to work remotely,
and subsequently provide access to key information immediately, and at the point
of need, BlackBerry® technology is delivering real value to public sector organisations.
As a technology provider and device manufacturer, Research in Motion works with specialist
technology providers such as HCL Solutions to tailor solutions to the requirements of local
government. The BlackBerry solution delivers mobile access to email (inc. attachments),
calendar and personal information management - but also the capability to provide
public facing workers with access to their core applications wherever they are.

Security |
The BlackBerry solution has been approved by CESG for use by government employees to handle
restricted data. With the BlackBerry® solution, government and public sector professionals
can securely connect to colleagues and operational data such as patient records, social services
systems and the Police National Computer when on the move.
All data transferred from core business applications, through a BES and into a BlackBerry
device is encrypted to 512bit using 3DES technology and is therefore the most secure, mobile
data access solution available.

Benefits | | HCL Solutions and the BlackBerry solution can help public sector organisations to realise the potential of mobile data solutions and empower government employees to provide public services that are of value to government, and citizens alike. |
The BlackBerry solution is a solution consisting of the BlackBerry Server software and a wide choice of handheld devices. It is a robust, secure and proven end-to-end system with simple and transparent pricing and functionality
The BlackBerry solution is flexible and scalable and can readily be configured to handle data to and from any back office systems, as well as the familiar email, calendar, PIM and voice applications
Public sector workers can and often do find themselves in any manner of environments so BlackBerry smartphones work as they are discreet, rugged and unthreatening to clients. Moreover, if the device is stolen or mislaid, it can be remotely wiped or locked to ensure no sensitive data is compromised
CESG has approved the BlackBerry wireless communication solution for use by government with data up to and including the restricted security classification. BlackBerry was designed with end-to-end security in mind
