Manage users and apps on mobile devices using BlackBerry Cloud Service

At the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2013 BlackBerry announced a cloud service that will easily manage users and apps for devices that run BlackBerry, Android and iOS. Even though it does not need any software, IT skills or servers; the BlackBerry designed this to be simple and easy to use. It is also good for business that practice BOYD policy. The role of this service is to increase efficiency and productivity by giving them the needed information without compromising the user’s privacy.

All of this can be done through a web page from where the admin will activate and deploy on smartphones and tables running BlackBerry, Android and iOS. Also through this interface administrators can manage apps and enforce security policy configurations for personal and corporate devices. They can also create catalogs using apps from well-known stores like Google Play, App Store and then see the usage and distribution of these apps. This service also provides support for end-user from where they can perform task like a password change, remote lock and remote wipe without the help of an administrator. All these features without the need for a servers or software, you just simply register.

There is no official date for this but BlackBerry is stating that is “coming soon”.
