WES 2010: Cortado presents a new solution, integrating BlackBerry Internet Service users into Corporate IT
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
At WES 2010, the wireless enterprise symposium in Orlando, Florida, we announce the release of a new version of our Cortado Corporate Server. The new Cortado Corporate Server 5.0 supports individual users with BlackBerry Internet Service. Version 5.0 will soon allow businesses easily integrate the personal BlackBerry® smartphones of employees, freelancers, and project-specific contractors into their IT environment.
The immense popularity of BlackBerry smartphones isn’t just confined to businesses. More and more individual users are also purchasing BlackBerry smartphones. If these smartphones are to be integrated into corporate IT, it can present a major challenge to the system administration. The reason: smartphones purchased by individuals are equipped with Push Mail via the BlackBerry Internet Service and not connected to the corporate network via BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
The Cortado Corporate Server 5.0 offers you a simple solution for the integration of personal BlackBerry smartphones into the infrastructure of a company. Our new Cortado solution ensures that employees with a BES server account as well as BIS accounts can have access to their corporate resources. Employees connected in this way will continue to have their existing BlackBerry® Email and will also be able to access shared drives on the corporate network, view and manage files, send them by email, print, fax, scan, copy, or render them as PDF files from their BlackBerry smartphone (

As a special feature, the new Cortado Corporate Server offers a completely novel Active Directory search for network printers. With this new function, you can search in a template for the name of the printer you need, select this device, and immediately use it to print. A function primarily of interest for employees who do not just sit at a desk, but want to, or have to access printing resources regardless of the location.
Cortado Corporate Server 5.0 is expected to be available in the second quarter of this year. To get a first glimpse you can download Cortado Workplace for free and try out some of the features:
