Full Story

Challenge

  • Faculty members, who spend the majority of their time in lecture halls, research facilities and the wards of the hospital, felt cut off from the school’s email system when they were away from their offices
  • The problem was even worse for senior staff members, who travel frequently to medical conferences around the world
  • They needed to give staff mobile access to Novell® GroupWise® email and calendar

Solution

  • Deployed BlackBerry® smartphones on the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for Novell® GroupWise®
  • Began with a successful pilot of ten smartphones with the school’s IT department and shortly rolled out to all senior faculty members

Benefits

  • BlackBerry smartphones have put an end to scheduling conflicts
  • Allows access to email when traveling
  • IT can manage devices remotely and push out software and provisioning updates with ease
