With all the consumer news flooding out of MWC, it’s easy to forget that enterprises need to keep an eye on proceedings.
Here’s a round-up of the companies who have made waves in the business market so far.
1. BlackBerry
The original pioneer of the enterprise mobile world, BlackBerry first became known for its handsets. Its soft keyboard and Universal Search and Hub will be ported to iPhone, Android and Windows Phones. The Ontario-based company also announced the BlackBerry Suite, comprising three bundles of services: the Productivity Suite, Communication & Collaboration Suite and Security Suite.
