Case Study: Branchfire keeps 1.5 million users productive and secure with BlackBerry

iAnnotate Keeps Millions of Workers in Motion with BlackBerry Dynamics

Branchfire’s iAnnotate is a document review and markup app used by 1.5 million users worldwide (including 1,000+ enterprise customers and 100,000 enterprise users). Focused on replacing paper workflows in high‑velocity environments like legal, education and healthcare, Branchfire needed to guarantee enterprise‑grade security for regulated industries without slowing the fast, intuitive experience that made iAnnotate popular (a challenge highlighted by early deployments such as Stanford’s medical school).

To solve this, Branchfire built its enterprise offering on the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK and Secure Container, enabling strong on‑device encryption, containerization and easy integration via APIs. The result: enterprise security without sacrificing speed or functionality, faster developer onboarding, broader ISV interoperability, and accelerated adoption across regulated verticals—helping drive continued growth and widespread use of iAnnotate in law, finance, healthcare, education and entertainment.
