We maintain our own servers and already have a contract with RIM. Many users have switched to iphones so I don't think we will have to worry about that many cal's. Are the bes cals transferrable to bb10 cal's, I wonder. I think not.

It seems that a lot depends on the number of users and how your BES support provider is charging you. Fusion server is free and you pay for the CALs. However, you also pay for a support contract from RIM or another provider. For the SaaS solution we only pay a monthly, per-user fee. Support is included and the vendor owns and maintains the server. If your support provider charges by the number of users/devices, you have to compare that with what you are paying for SaaS MDM in addition to the cost of the CALs. -- Art Alexion Systems Engineer -- Infrastructure Engineering Group Resources for Human Development [cid:044B0A00-12E3-4A28-882F-4F8F73B56F7B] On 3/29/12 2:13 PM, "Moller, Doreen" <doreen.mol...@merck.com<mailto:doreen.mol...@merck.com>> wrote: or those that already have another MDM system in place, it's not going to help much.
