BlackBerry releases a new video showing off its Dynamics Launcher for the enterprise

by Alan Friedman / Mar 11, 2017, 10:58 AM

We can't forget that BlackBerry is now basically a software company. Yesterday, we told you about the new Privacy Shade app that can be found for 'Berry handsets in the Google Play Store. It's a simple, but well thought out solution to a security problem. Now, the company has released a video showing off its renamed launcher for the enterprise, the BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher. The latter solves some problems facing employees in the field.

One solution for workers on the go is to use native apps. But as BlackBerry tells us, these are fraught with danger. There is a decided lack of security (on non BlackBerry handsets, hence the iPhone image) and with multiple choices, employees can't decide which app to use. And native apps are not built for business users. This leads to employees opening and closing apps, looking for the right one to handle their tasks. Is there any way to get around this insanity? Yes there is!

By using the BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher on their iOS or Android powered phone, mobile employees will be adding a secure mobile desktop that will contain secure BlackBerry apps and tools. It can even be the home for custom applications. The bottom line? Only business apps approved by an employee's firm will be found on the launcher. Each company will be able to set its own policy on using apps.

And the Quick Action feature has employees quickly opening the correct app in order to write an email, take a notes, add a contact or more. According to BlackBerry, the launcher provides seamless navigation and ends inefficient workflows. Developers can incorporate the launcher into their business apps.

If you run a company, BlackBerry is offering a free trial for corporations using iOS or Android as their mobile platform. Simply click on the sourcelink. And you can see the Dynamics Launcher in action by clicking on the video at the top of the story.

BlackBerry is really doing some incredible things as a software and security company. It would be great if there were more articles posted here that actually showed what their doing in regards to that like some other sites do. It would go a long way in showing people here that BlackBerry is a totally separate company from their hardware licensees that's only involved with the software and security of their branded products, and to guarantee that a certain level of quality is maintained. Everything else, from the hardware itself to marketing, pricing, distribution, etc is handled by the licensees. Kudos to you PA, for posting this article, and here's to hoping that you post more like it about BlackBerry.

Agreed. Now lets all come back to this article's comment section tomorrow to read a weird GreenMan sauced up rebuttal. His topic of discussion will be: Reasearch In Motion (and their fanboys), Ducati bikes, and most recently... Where's Waldo ;)

I find his oddball posts to be funny when you're drunk. Although he did point out one thing that was ultimately true.

Alcoholics often agree with the lunatic rants of other alcoholics.

I don't find it surprising that you resort to a No You response. Man you are terrible at this. I think you should go back to being jplightning with your broken Engrish.

I don't find it surprising that you're deflecting from the fact that you have multiple accounts here. Man, all you do is deflect. I think you should go back to being batmite with your lame one-liners. At least you don't deflect as much when you use that personae.

I see that you are resorting to No You responses. You and I both know that you are the one who is behind the batmite doppelganger account, cornball.

I see that you're resorting to the same thing that you're whining about me doing. We both know that you're the salty hypocrite that's behind the batmite faux account.

Do you ever just shut up? You're just dragging this on just because you're bumburned at the truth.

Lmao! Do you? Aren't you still responding? Hypocrite, much? You're just embarrassed and seething with anger because you can't post proof like I said, and you're throwing a fit because I corrected the willful ignorance of a multi-account troll (read: YOU).

I have posted proof before. Get over it, you know that you are a multi-account troll. You know that you are jplightning, alpha.

Lol, no you haven't. And if you did, where is the proof that I was on any Blogcast now? Oh wait, you don't have any proof. You're just an ignorant inbred trolling Apple shill that has multiple faux accounts like batmite and alphagenius.

Ah! I'm famous...! Or is it... Infamous...? Hmmm... (Scratches the head) Woah... Wait a minute... It can't be... Oh no... Seems like I've just become a bulls eye...! A target...! The 'Berry Boyz (Or is it just one single boy running multiple accounts...?) aren't (isn't...?) much different than Biker Boyz...! They both revert to trolling, bashing, kicking, screaming, shooting, crying, weeping, pushing, yelling, jumping, snoring (snoring...?) and farting (Wait, what?) when they can't prove their point the 'logical' way...! I've had some trouble with so called HOGs aka Harley (Davidson) Owners Group some time ago on AdvRider... And this is Deja Vu right here...! Getting bashed by 'Iron Horse' riders makes sense... They do more bragging and talking than actual riding... I never take them seriously...! They barely clock 50 Miles an year, look up used Hogs on Craigslist, most Harleys for sale aren't even broken-in... But... Getting bashed and pushed by GEEKS and NERDS who use Blackberries and speak in African American Binary Code...? That's a first...! Oh well, G'Day!

In other words: "I've just been revealed to be the drunken old troll that I am, and now I'm also showing how much of a racist nazi that I really am by making BS comments about race. I also can't seem to fathom that more than one person actually thinks that I'm a foolish old troll, so it just must be that it's one person with multiple accounts. But I can't help it, because my faculties have deteriorated along with my age, and I need to find some sort of entertainment and attention in the last few years of my pitifully lonely life." There. I fixed your ignorant trolling BS post for you.

But he is right about you having multiple accounts.

If he were talking about himself or you, he'd be absolutely correct about the multi-account claim.

Don't deny it. There are other users who noticed it.

Remember, you are the one who admitted to having aliases in order to fight the good fight. And let's not forget how you claimed to not know "alpha" yet the blogcast that you were on says otherwise.

Remember, you're the one that created the faux alphagenius account mere hours after you were limited in order to troll me, JakeLee. And let's also point out that I've NEVER been on any Blogcast. That's BS that you're making up in order to deflect from the fact that multiple people here have also pointed out that you're a troll that has multiple alias accounts, and the now banned hexacore proved it first. Now, of I was on any Blogcast, post the link proving so. Don't worry, I'll wait....

LOL - So you say you've had some trouble with Harley owners on a motorcycle riders forum. GEE, I wonder how that ever could've happened!

This is the only thing blackberry can really do. They are pretty much ousted out of the hardware business.

Um...NO. They actually have hardware outside of smartphones, like BlackBerry Radar. You'd actually know about that if you spent less time taking digs and more time doing research before commenting.
