BlackBerry Collaboration Service
The BlackBerry® Collaboration Service provides a connection between your organization's instant messaging server and the
collaboration client on BlackBerry devices. The BlackBerry Collaboration Service integrates with existing instant messaging
applications. The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server supports the following collaboration clients:
• BlackBerry® Client for use with Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server 2005
• BlackBerry® Client for use with Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007
• BlackBerry® Client for IBM® Lotus® Sametime®
• BlackBerry® Client for Novell® GroupWise® Messenger
The BlackBerry Collaboration Service sends messages between your organization's instant messaging server, BlackBerry
Enterprise Server, and BlackBerry devices using public APIs, a Research In Motion proprietary protocol, and protocols that are
defined by IBM, Microsoft, and Novell.
Instant messaging features
Using the collaboration clients on their BlackBerry® devices, users can use many of the same features that are available in the
instant messaging applications on their computers.
