Today, we’re pleased to announce that harmon.ie has launched a native Office 365 and SharePoint app for the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10, part of the harmon.ie 4.0 product suite and available for download at the BlackBerry World store. These apps will be showcased this week at BlackBerry Live in Orlando.

The harmon.ie app provides full-featured Office 365 and on premise SharePoint functionality, including secure connectivity and offline document access. With the combination of Office 365 and a native BlackBerry 10 app user experience, customers using the BlackBerry Q10 or the BlackBerry Z10 smartphones can increase their productivity in the workplace and use their BlackBerry devices as a business tool.

Using harmon.ie, you can now work on contracts, spreadsheets and presentations by securely accessing Office 365 from your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. You can also get real-time updates as colleagues update important documents, save Office 365 on your device for off-line availability, and securely upload documents from email attachments onto Office 365.

“BlackBerry has always been invested in providing enterprise customers with effective tools to get business done”, said Martyn Mallick, BlackBerry’s VP of Global Alliances and Business Development. “We are thrilled to have harmon.ie bring both SharePoint and Office 365 to the BlackBerry 10 platform and are confident BlackBerry users will appreciate the social nature of these business solutions.”

Today during the BlackBerry World™ 2012 general session, Robin Bienfait (RIM Chief Information Officer) and Alan Panezic (RIM VP of Enterprise Product Management and Marketing) shared an exciting vision for the future of Research In Motion (RIM) enterprise solutions. Celebrating the successes of the past year, Robin spoke of the launch of BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion, Direct Enterprise Connection, and BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services – enterprise solutions promised at last year’s BlackBerry World conference, and delivered as committed.

As Thorsten Heins stated during the last quarterly earnings call, RIM remains committed to our enterprise customers. We’re designing a tightly focused and dedicated plan to continue to deliver solutions that are scalable, secure, and tailored to specific business needs. In an exciting announcement earlier today, Robin stated that by next year’s BlackBerry World, BlackBerry Mobile Fusion will be offered on-site as it is now, as a hosted and managed solution through partners, or completely in the cloud. Couple this with the evolving concept of a mobile office powered by BlackBerry 10, and the future is certainly bright for enterprise mobility.
