Blackberry value added solutions and enterprise product vice president Billy Ho stated that the Good secure EMM suites will offer flexibility to clients. This will be possible thanks to the portfolio changes that were recently introduced so that policies and security can be introduced through numerous file layers, applications, networks and devices. Good Technology offers mobile management while WatchDox provides document security. Blackberry acquired the two firms in 2015, and it began to roll out BES 12 updates that would support the two in January.

BES 12.5 will allow complete and smooth integration of the services offered through the Good secure EMM suites. The BES 12.5 platform promises to offer tighter security and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is also working on an AtHoc mobile app that targets the secure mobility platform offered by Good Dynamics. It will be available by the beginning of August, and it aims to make the user experience simpler while at the same time allowing crisis communications to be accessed directly from the user’s device.
