What is BlackBerry Connect?
BlackBerry Connect is a secure, mobile, instant messaging application that is built on BlackBerry Dynamics. It has similar features to consumer instant messaging apps but, instead of connecting to consumer services like Yahoo! Messenger, BlackBerry Connect connects to an organization's instant messaging server, Skype for Business or Cisco Unified Communications Manager for IM and Presence, by communicating through a BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server.
