Research In Motion has announced the
BlackBerry® 10 Technical Preview program, giving selected enterprise and
government customers the opportunity to begin beta testing with BlackBerry®
Enterprise Service 10 and pre-production BlackBerry® 10 smartphones. The ”by
invitation” program starts today, with more than 120 select customers enrolled
that span a variety of industries including financial, government, insurance,
healthcare, manufacturing, media, and distribution. The mix includes 64 Fortune
500 companies.

The technical preview program will give organizations
early access to RIM’s new enterprise mobility management solution, BlackBerry
Enterprise Service 10, along with a limited number of pre-production BlackBerry 10 smartphones
for testing within their environment.

”Beginning today, RIM will be visiting some
of our enterprise and government ‘early adopters’ and getting them started with
the BlackBerry 10 platform,” said Robin Bienfait, Chief Information Officer, Research
In Motion. ”At RIM, we’ve seen the power of our new enterprise mobility
management solution first-hand, and we are thrilled to share BlackBerry 10
directly with these leading organizations.”

”We’ve been anxiously waiting to put our
hands on BlackBerry 10, and the time has come,” said John R. Delano, CIO,
Integris Health. ”BlackBerry has been a trusted partner for many years, and
we’re excited to see what the next generation of BlackBerry solutions offer. We
know we can rely on the security and manageability that BlackBerry offers, and we’re
looking forward to adding <i>fun</i> to the list of benefits.”

Customers will have first-hand experience
with features such as BlackBerry® BalanceT, the BlackBerry® Hub, the ability to
seamlessly flow between core applications, the dedicated enterprise app store
and the BlackBerry 10 platform’s secure connectivity to behind the firewall applications
and data through BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.

”Getting devices early into the hands of
its best and largest enterprise customers confirms the confidence RIM has in
its new BlackBerry 10 platform and is an important step leading-up to its
launch,” said Kevin Burden, Director of Mobility at Strategy Analytics. ”Beyond
reinforcing its commitment to those loyal to the BlackBerry platform’s future,
the program stands to deliver valuable real-world feedback from multiple
industries before RIM takes the platform live.”
