Hi Evan, +1 over here for BES Express, which was renamed BPS, BlackBerry Professional Server, which actually comes as a free download with 1 bundled license and 1 free support call.
I'll find the link if need be. Total cost for you should just be that second user license. Let me know if I can help any more. I've been using it with no problems for coming up two years with about 10 users.
