BlackBerry just launched a super-secure messaging system for enterprise clients
Enterprises – particularly those in the healthcare and defense sectors – have the same need for real-time communications as any other company but differ in the level of security they require. To address this market, one-time Canadian smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry just announced the launch of BBM Enterprise SDK.
BBM Enterprise SDK promises to let software developers integrate the secure communications features of BlackBerry Messenger into their own applications. These aren’t limited to one-to-one and group chats, although that’s definitely a huge part of it. It also includes voice and video, as well as encrypted file sharing.
The Enterprise SDK also boasts a number of advanced features that aren’t commonly found in consumer-grade messaging systems. On the IM front, there’s the ability to edit, quote, delete, and retract text messages — essentially granting users full control over what they send. There’s also location services, and custom statuses.
