WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 14, 2020 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB) today announced Saudi Financial Lease Contract Registry Company, known by the brand name SIJIL, has selected BlackBerry® Unified Endpoint Manager (UEM) and BlackBerry® Workspaces for its secure communications needs. SIJIL has chosen BlackBerry because of the company's exceptional security capabilities and its industry leadership in secure connectivity technologies.
SIJIL provides services and solutions for financial lease registrations and offers a special register of contracts, including data in relation to leased assets. The company was established to improve the process of financial lease and contract registration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SIJIL's mission is to provide automated registry services that reduce the unintended consequences of human error, thereby enhancing contract enforceability and transparency.

"BlackBerry software enables customers to have best-in-class security and a low-touch user experience, while addressing one of the biggest threats to an organization's security – human error."
