BlackBerry Connectivity vs OpenScape Mobile Pro

BlackBerry® Secure Connect Plus streamlines behind-the-firewall access and provides an additional layer of encryption for corporate data in transit. The BlackBerry Connectivity app is required for devices to use the BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus feature in BlackBerry UEM. BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus can deliver significant cost savings by eliminating need for purchasing, configuring and managing mobile VPNs. This app can also improve the on device user experience by enabling multi-media and streaming applications (including voice, video) to run on iOS® devices, providing a secure IP tunnel between apps in the work space and an organization’s network. IMPORTANT NOTE: Only install this application if your IT department directs you to do so. BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus works only in conjunction with software that must be configured by your corporate IT department. BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus will not function unless enabled by your IT department. If in doubt, please contact your IT administrator or helpdesk before installing BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus.
