With the long awaited BlackBerry 10 due to launch on January 31 (AEDT), RIM has announced new enterprise server software that manages fleets of workplace mobile devices, including bring your own devices.

The software, known as BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 10, lets corporations offer staff their work email and access to workplace systems in a secured section of their phone or tablet.

RIM says the new BES offers device management, security, and mobile applications management for BlackBerry smartphones, PlayBook tablets, and new BlackBerry 10 smartphones in a consolidated solution.

In what seems a cheeky move, RIM says its single console managing system also can secure Google Android and Apple iOS devices used by employees.
