A BlackBerry Case Study
The Executive Transportation Group (ETG) is a Brooklyn-based executive car service in New York City that coordinates about 1,800 vehicles and serves more than two million passengers annually. When a 2012 change in mobile network provider prompted a review of devices, protecting clients’ location, payment and personal data emerged as the top priority, and information-security experts rejected platforms that relied on third-party security add-ons.
ETG chose to stay with BlackBerry, deploying 1,800 BlackBerry Bold 9930 smartphones integrated with BlackBerry Enterprise Server and a custom Aleph dispatch app. The solution provided secure, real-time GPS-enabled dispatching and one-touch job acceptance for drivers, improving response times, workflow and client retention while delivering responsive vendor support.
