RIM has been facing massive problems ranging from top executives leaving the company to patent suits.
Instead of washing its dirty lien in public has taken a stand to remain silent and progress among all chaos.
To revive the company’s reputation, T horsten Heins took over as CEO in Jan. 2012 . After h e declared the
Earnings report & a nnounced the release of OS BB10 on 25 September’2012 , the company’s shares have started to increase in value a gain.

The stock is soaring after-hours, rising as much as 16%
RIM's brought in $432 million in cash-flow from operations for the quarter. Its total cash is $2.3 billion, a $100 million increase.

It is apparent that RIM if at all it starts progressing again after BB10 release will need a long time to reposition itself back to glory days. But blackberry have had so much to deliver to its customers from “PUSH -Technology” to end-toend security to now placement and integration of fuel cells in its devices which enables the blackberry to recharge itself. These amazing features are unique . Even more unique is the fact that not a single blackberry phone has been hacked till date which makes Blackberry the safest smart -phones among its competitors. Aware consumers have high expectations from BB10 which even provides multi -language s upport in a single text message.

Recommendations:
 Rim must work on 3 areas to help position itself back to zenith days: Internal Management, Timeline adherence, new innovations and patents.
 For i nvestors , it is the perfect time to invest in RIMM shares, either the company stand high again or it

    BES or the Blackberry encryption server is one of the most effective tools in security with blackberry products. All communications between BES and BlackBerries are encrypted with Triple DES or AES encryption and only the company running the BES instance have the encryption keys. That means that RIM cannot provide these keys to government organizations. This is a great tool for companies who want to be the only ones with the keys to their data. PKI is paramount at this point and the less you have to worry about the better. Most blackberries that are not connected to a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you’re using the BlackBerry Internet Service or BIS. BIS provides the benefits of push-email to the masses. You can organize a riot, or orchestrate assignation, and you don’t even have to be wearing a suit and tie. Instead of connecting to corporate BES, you connect to a BIS server operated by your mobile carrier. This also secures incoming data from anyone not using a blackberry to contact you. This is why most people complain about lag with blackberries. Unlike BlackBerry to BlackBerry communication on BES, BIS email messages are not encrypted before they travel over a mobile carrier’s network. For BIS users, only the mobile carrier’s standard 3G/2G protection applies. Your IT department has the option of encrypting the body — not the PIN — of your PIN-to-PIN BBM messages with a key unique to the company. By default, however, BBM messages are not encrypted…

    BlackBerry has always been known for its phone’s functionality, especially for those in the business world. Blackberry’s functionality allows it to be easily accessed by anyone with any sort of mobile phone background. With such a simple design and operating system, BlackBerry cannot perform as well as other phones such as that of Apples which has a multitude of applications with numerous capabilities that serve many purposes. Although the BlackBerry lacks in functionality, it is this fact that allows BlackBerry’s simplistic design to outshine others because in the world of business, the phone’s functions are only kept at the minimal needs of calling, texting and e-mailing which the BlackBerry does with ease.…

    I believe that blackberry needs to take a longer view that will eventually help the developing nations in the Middle East and Asia increase the freedom their citizens have. Until than they should strongly cater to those entities that will benefit the most from high security, Corporations and Governments. At this time, the blackberry Phones are not very popular anywhere in the world and their market share of mobile devices is decreased to the point that they hold less than 1% of the market in the United States. However, our top government officials still use BlackBerry phones because of the strong encryption keys. (Based on my personal experience at work). Strategically Blackberry need to use the NSA debacle as a selling point along with other personal information leaks to push new BlackBerry products into the market.…

    Another reason why RIM is struggling can be blamed on top management. The former co­CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie have been somewhat blamed for the weaknesses that the company is now trying to deal with. Blackberry 10 fell too far behind schedule and now companies like Microsoft, Google, and Apple are coming out with new phones left and right. The three companies are competing with one another for as much of the market share as they possibly can. All three companies have innovative products that are engaging and different. Blackberry is known as one of the first phones to offer email on the go. New devices such as the new Windows phone, Google’s G3, and the Apple’s iPhone have integrated email, Internet, cameras, apps, and much more. The demand for these innovative features is an opportunity that RIM should incorporated into their Blackberry. If they do so, they could possibly see an increase in their profits again.…
