    While it is not possibly to quantify most of RIM’s operational goals we can try to establish what they may entail. A recent interview with new CEO Thorsten Heins points towards having their operative goals built around having an innovative culture that involves employees and develops them and having a top 3 market share globally in the mobile market [ (BlackBerry, 2012) ]. Furthermore, they are also very focused on reducing their costs which is demonstrated by their announcement of a core optimization program and CORE on June 16, 2011. These programs were meant to analyze the companies’ procedures and cut out overhead and redundancy [ (Research In Motion, 2011) ]. RIM’s competitors have been highly publicized and are listed by Yahoo Finance to be Nokia, Google, and Apple [ (Yahoo! Inc., 2012) ]. With RIM being in the mobile market, their consumer base is very broad selling to the general market. With such an advanced device the list of suppliers is vast as they need to provide all the parts from glass to processing chips and these suppliers are…

    Research in Motion - Rim

    • 1023 Words

    Research In Motion (RIM), a global leader in wireless innovation, revolutionized the mobile industry with the introduction of the BlackBerry® solution in 1999. There are multiple examples of the challenges RIM faced to protect its Intellectual Property as well as how those challenges were handled. One such example is RIM vs Glenayre Technologies, Inc. This claim, a response to an earlier suit brought forth by Glenayre, insisted that Glenayre blatantly imitated BlackBerry technology and marketing. Later in 2001, Glenayre's initial 1999 patent suit against RIM was dismissed. In early 2002 RIM and Glenayre agreed to drop their remaining lawsuits and work together to develop a wireless e-mail device that would incorporate Glenayre's messaging software. During this same time, RIM also obtained a U.S. patent called the BlackBerry Single Mailbox Integration patent, which covered technology that gave users the ability to have a single e-mail address on both wireless and desktop systems (http://www.answers.com/topic/research-in-motion-ltd-usa). The patent applied to the system and method that RIM pioneered for redirecting information between a host computer system and a mobile communications device.…

    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.…

    1) After RIM’s fall over the past few years, they have brought in a new man to be CEO and Barbara Stymiest is taking over as chair. The reaction to the choice to make Thorsten Heins the new CEO was seen as too little too late. People don’t feel that Heins will be able to shake up the company enough to make a big enough change. They are hoping the new phone coming out from Blackberry called BB 10 will do well. They have a lot riding on this, it is an all touch screen phone. I think this will be good to compete with the younger generation but the average blackberry user likes the blackberry for business purposes and the keyboard most say is easier for that. The advertising for this phone will have to be huge to bring back the former RIM users. Doing some research on it, it sounds like they are trying to incorporate all three of their main competitors and making sure this phone is personalized to each user.…

    Research in Motion aka RIM is a name synonymous with wireless communication research going on at its premises for the past twenty five years. Like many other companies that receive world recognition, RIM has been through turbulent times and still became leading designers, manufacturer, and marketer of innovative wireless solutions for the wireless communications market. During the growth of the wireless network development to the Blackberry, RIM faced challenges such as: Legitimacy of firm and technology, Implications of technology standards, Network effects and complementary goods, and Partners and social capital as resources. For example in 1990, RIM launched software that allowed users to send data on a wireless network and it failed to create business because it was ahead of its time for market. However in 1991, an undeterred RIM’s wireless Technology for modems was licensed by Ericsson of $250,000.…
