INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM AKIN GUMP DEPLOYS BLACKBERRY 10 AND ITS 'ROBUST SECURITY' PLATFORM
International law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP has chosen to deploy 500 BlackBerry 10 devices and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 to its employees.
Akin Gump is a leading international law firm, with offices in the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Security and reliability matters, and Akin Gump trusts BlackBerry with its information and its ability to help get things done, and has made the decision to test and deploy BlackBerry 10.
"We are excited to be moving forward with the new BlackBerry 10 platform. It is important to us that we provide our employees with powerful tools when working remotely, and the new BlackBerry platform, with its ease of use and robust security, is a major step forward and a significant part of that strategy," said Scott Bravi, chief information officer for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.
"We are thrilled to announce that Akin Gump is deploying BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, recognizing the valuable security proposition the BlackBerry platform provides," said Richard Piasentin, vice-president and managing director for the United States at BlackBerry. "BlackBerry knows enterprise and offers innovative solutions to help them to maintain security and respond to current trends -- BlackBerry Balance -- creates a seamless way to satisfy both user and customer needs without compromising either."
BlackBerry 10 is a reliable platform that is smooth and responsive. It has a modern design and a gesture-based interface that is highly discoverable. It is designed to support, learn and adapt to the way you work. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 builds on more than a decade of the BlackBerry enterprise mobility management expertise. It offers mobile device management, mobile application management and secure mobile connectivity, and delivers a cost-efficient and reliable solution for business and government customers.
