Case Study: Major Bank achieves secure Office 365 mobile adoption with BlackBerry Enterprise BRIDGE and UEM

Why BlackBerry was the Right Choice to Support This Bank’s App Adoption Strategy

This major, innovation-driven bank (20,000+ employees) had built about 30 custom apps with the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK and used BlackBerry Work for secure productivity, but hit a roadblock when employees demanded native Microsoft Office mobile apps. Because the bank is highly security-conscious, it could not risk data leakage or unmanaged personal Office accounts, which prevented broad adoption of Office mobile apps and Microsoft Intune.

Working with BlackBerry, the bank implemented BlackBerry Enterprise BRIDGE to securely pass data from BlackBerry Work to Office mobile apps and enforce corporate Office 365 accounts, while managing endpoints with BlackBerry UEM and Secure Connect Plus; 2,000 UAT licenses are already deployed ahead of an organization-wide rollout and consolidation of VMware AirWatch into UEM. The result: seamless, controlled access to Office apps alongside existing Dynamics apps, stronger IT visibility and leak protection, dedicated premium support, and an ongoing innovation partnership for new device and workflow pilots.
