Research In Motion supplies BlackBerry Wireless email to Credit Suisse First Boston BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds Are Used By CSFB Professionals To Manage Email And Personal Organizer WATERLOO, ON, Dec. 21 /CNW/ - Research In Motion Limited (Nasdaq: RIMM, TSE: RIM) today announced it is supplying BlackBerry Exchange Edition to Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB). Over three hundred wireless handhelds have already been deployed to employees in multiple offices. CSFB plans to continue deploying BlackBerry Handhelds and BlackBerry Enterprise Server to additional business units and employees throughout the upcoming year. BlackBerry provides the investment firm's employees with secure, mobile access to their corporate email, contacts, calendar and task list, and allows them to stay connected and productive through a solution that addresses the needs of both users and the IT department. "I've been using BlackBerry for several months and it has dramatically impacted the way I manage my email," said Frank Quattrone, Managing Director and Head, CSFB Technology Group. "My communication is predominantly time-sensitive, and I can respond to colleagues and clients quickly and efficiently with BlackBerry. I don't need to wonder and worry about a growing batch of unread messages waiting for me at my desk." "World-leading organizations like Credit Suisse First Boston are embracing BlackBerry as a communication and productivity tool," said Mark Guibert, Director of Marketing at Research In Motion. "Credit Suisse First Boston began working with RIM shortly after the launch of BlackBerry. They recognized that BlackBerry could deliver immediate benefits to their organization through improvements in productivity, workgroup collaboration and client responsiveness." MediaServ Inc., an authorized BlackBerry Solution Provider, has worked closely with RIM and Credit Suisse First Boston to support the deployment of BlackBerry Handhelds and BlackBerry Enterprise Server. MediaServ offers eBusiness solutions to a variety of industries including Financial Services, Telecommunications, Consumer Goods and Services, Manufacturing and Retail. RIM's BlackBerry solution includes a powerful wireless handheld with integrated email/organizer software, PC docking cradle, innovative desktop and server software, single mailbox integration and flat-rate nationwide airtime. It features an end-to-end security system whereby all corporate email remains encrypted at all points between the desktop PC and the BlackBerry Handheld, meeting standard corporate security guidelines. The "push model" of email delivery that BlackBerry provides does not require the user to dial-in or initiate the connection, so users receive notification as a new email arrives and can respond promptly. BlackBerry Enterprise Server allows centralized administration, increased scalability and enhanced performance for corporate environments.
