Vodafone Netherlands Launches Managed Service For BlackBerry

Vodafone Netherlands decided to launch a Managed Service for BlackBerry, the first of an end-to-end portfolio of offerings for hand-held business devices. Vodafone Netherlands looked to its longstanding partner, Capgemini Consulting, to help launch the service. A joint team finalized a proposition and business model; prepared and executed a process to assess potential strategic partners; selected a partner; and planned and prepared to launch the new product. Together with a new strategic partner, Vodafone Netherlands has commercially launched the Managed Service for BlackBerry to the market. Companies can now outsource the complete end-to-end management of their BlackBerry service environment to Vodafone for a fixed fee per end user.
