Upgrading from the BlackBerry Professional Software to
the BlackBerry Enterprise Server
1
Your organization can upgrade from the BlackBerry® Professional Software to a supported higher version of the BlackBerry®
Enterprise Server. The decision to upgrade might be influenced by factors such as the following:
• The number of BlackBerry device users in your organization is approaching the maximum of 30 users.
• The number of users or administrators in your organization requires group-based or role-based administration.
• Users need access to applications that were developed using the BlackBerry® MDS Studio or the BlackBerry® Plug-
in for Microsoft® Visual Studio®.
• Users want to use collaboration clients, such as the BlackBerry® Client for IBM® Lotus® Connections.
