Research-in-motion lost its once-dominant position in the smart phone market. With surging demand for Apple and Android platform, the market showed Blackberry lagging behind in many ways. After the recent Blackberry outage, competitors got another opportunity to raise fingers at Blackberry's system and question its back-end's inconsistency and unresponsiveness. We argue that Android and Apple platforms are good enough to take over users' corporate phone needs. However, the enterprise still remains the RIM's area of strength, which will not let the Blackberry development solutions get out of focus.
RIM blackberry app solutions have seen a major drop as Blackberry's market share fell from 18.7 percent to 11.7 percent in the second quarter. As some people continue to prefer Blackberry, RIM still continues to satisfy the unique requirements of highly regulated industries. It's just that we have a choice wider than the Blackberry smart phones and custom Blackberry solutions now.
Blackberry development solutions' security still robust
Although customers suffered at the hands of Blackberry due to the outage, Dan croft, CEO of Mission Critical Wireless, which helps businesses manage critical deployments, said that IT managers would still prefer only one solution, which will be Blackberry. RIM's security is robust and easy to implement. Moreover, every message transmitted through a Blackberry device is routed through the RIM's Operations Center adding extra layers of security to the message.
RIM's enterprise server is well-managed. Corporate may find it unreliable to store its data over Apple's cloud server. However, Blackberry deployments are well-maintained and upgraded. Financial and Pharmaceutical industries are the major ones relying on custom Blackberry solutions
