BlackBerry is, of course, an enterprise device first and foremost, and it’s a big focus of this year’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium. For the day 1 keynote, IBM General Manager Bob Picciano introduced a BlackBerry enterprise solution called Alloy, which was first announced back in January at their own annual show, Lotusphere. Alloy is essentially an app for managers who need to handle all that bureaucratic paperwork on the fly – that includes sending out reports, dealing with travel requests, fine tuning task assignments through SAP Workflow, granting leave requests through Lotus calendars and plenty more with a customizable options available. Find out more about Alloy at IBM’s Lotus site.
