WATERLOO, ON, March 23,
2023 /CNW/ -- BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB)
and Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) today announced that they have partnered
to deliver a secure forms solution for mobile. The software
solution, which combines BlackBerry® UEM and Adobe Experience
Manager Forms, is designed for popular mobile device platforms, and
meets the rigorous security standards required by regulated
industries. Furthermore, the partnership agreement allows
BlackBerry to resell Adobe Experience Manager Forms
software.
Prior to the partnership between BlackBerry and Adobe, users
have been challenged in completing and approving documents away
from their desktops, limiting their mission-critical mobility, and
productivity. In this new solution, BlackBerry UEM manages
public key infrastructure (PKI) certificates to secure the
connection to Adobe Experience Manager, allowing users to complete
and electronically sign documents from anywhere, on their
employer-issued or BYO mobile devices, and without a
VPN.
"BlackBerry and Adobe both have a long-standing and trusted
reputation for enabling the digital transformation of organizations
around the world," said Neelam
Sandhu, SVP Sustainability & Chief Elite Customer
Success Officer. "BlackBerry is delighted to partner with Adobe to
solve this imperative security and productivity need for regulated
industries. BlackBerry UEM together with Adobe Experience
Manager will enable government, financial services, healthcare,
legal, and other organizations, to modernize and optimize their
operations while maintaining the highest levels of security,
protecting national security."
"Electronic workflows should not be limited to desktop
environments," said John Landwehr,
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Public Sector at
Adobe. "Business processes cannot be delayed by lack of
mobile support, for securely completing and signing electronic
documents. The partnership between BlackBerry and Adobe
enhances operational processing and workforce efficiency for hiring
and onboarding, procurement of goods and services, medical
readiness, maintenance, and logistics, and so many more use cases,
that require signed approvals at any time, on any device."
This new solution is available now for customers using
BlackBerry UEM and BlackBerry Adobe Experience Manager Forms.
BlackBerry UEM is used by security and productivity conscious
organizations around the world and has the highest number of
government security certifications in the industry, across
unclassified and classified requirements. Announced earlier
this year, BlackBerry UEM is the only UEM solution to be
recognized, by customers, in the top right quadrant of Gartner's
2023 Gartner Peer Insights 'Voice of the Customer': UEM Tools
report. For more information on BlackBerry UEM visit
