BlackBerry said that AZB & Partners, one of the top three corporate law firms in India, have deployed its hosted BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and upgraded to BlackBerry smartphones, to manage their mobile infrastructure across the organisation.
Around 200 senior partners and lawyers of AZB & Partners have been provided email access on their smartphones. Close to 80 percent of the employees with email access are using BlackBerry OS/Blackberry 10 smartphones along with hosted BES Services.
Majority of the AZB & Partners employees use BlackBerry’s QWERTY smartphones. Hosted BlackBerry services will offer AZB & Partners workforce with a full service business solution which seamlessly integrates with existing hosted email and business applications.
With presence in Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Pune, AZB & Partners specialise in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and general corporate law practice. Being a law firm, security and confidentiality play a critical factor while selecting enterprise mobility solutions. With wireless access to email, calendar, browser and other applications, all managed by BlackBerry hosted BES services, AZB & Partners workforce continue to be seamlessly connected on-the go without investment in expensive servers and software in-house.
“We are extremely delighted with the security features, management console, reporting and the upcoming enterprise mobility roadmap of BlackBerry. We have 165 happy BlackBerry users in the company and look
forward to upgrade to the new BES 12 cloud services. The high security environment and the user friendly QWERTY experience are clearly the key differentiators of BlackBerry’s robust enterprise mobility solutions,” said Ajay Bahl and Bahram Vakil of AZB &Partners.
“The BlackBerry Hosted Services offer compelling features, especially when it comes to data security and the flexibility to meet the varied needs of our senior partners and lawyers. With the Hosted BES services and BlackBerry smartphones, we have found the best mobility solution in terms of security, connectivity, cost and usability. BlackBerry is a highly valued partner that we can rely upon unconditionally in the current scenario of data security threats and breach of privacy.”
“It is a matter of great honour to be chosen as the preferred mobility solution provider by a prestigious Indian law firm like AZB & Partners. We understand the unique security requirements of law firms and our solutions are built to provide them with the best productivity tools. Within sectors with strict security and regulated environments, BlackBerry continues to be the chosen mobility platform,” said Sunil Lalvani, Managing Director – BlackBerry India.
