WALTHAM, Mass.-- Aug. 9, 2004 -- InterNoded, the industry leader in application enablement specializing in BlackBerry(R) and IBM technology, today announced an alliance with Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX:RIM) to provide BlackBerry customers with implementation services. The InterNoded-RIM relationship enables organizations currently or planning to use BlackBerry to easily deploy the BlackBerry wireless platform with InterNoded's services, while reducing upfront capital expenditures and deployment time.
InterNoded provides a hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server solution and has developed a comprehensive BlackBerry implementation offering called the InterNoded Wireless Advantage (IWA) that includes hardware, software, training, end-user support and hosting services. By taking advantage of IWA, companies can allow their mobile workforces to stay connected to important information and communications via email, phone, organizer, Web browser and corporate data applications through the use of BlackBerry handhelds -- without having to install server software and manage it in-house.
"The adoption of BlackBerry is growing exponentially as businesses across the world recognize the value of mobilizing a workforce," said Julie Palen, CEO of InterNoded. "Companies leveraging InterNoded's IWA are able to take advantage of all of the benefits of BlackBerry, while being able to focus on their core business objectives."
In addition, InterNoded offers training options to meet the needs of anyone involved with BlackBerry -- enterprise server administrators, help desk personnel and end users. InterNoded can provide BlackBerry training at the InterNoded Training Center or at the customer's site.
