Credit: Reuters/Robert Galbraith By Alastair Sharp TORONTO | Fri Nov 5, 2010 2:47pm EDT TORONTO (Reuters) - Shares in Research In Motion slipped more than 3 percent on Friday morning as investors fretted the BlackBerry smartphone's stranglehold on corporate communications was being eroded by rival devices. Bank of America and Citigroup have joined a growing throng of financial institutions eyeing alternatives to the BlackBerry for corporate email. The banks are testing software designed to make Apple's iPhone secure enough for company messages, Bloomberg said, citing three people familiar with the plan. A source at Bank of America confirmed the details of the report. A Citi spokeswoman declined to comment. BlackBerry smartphones have long been the device of choice for bankers, politicians and executives who need secure access to email and the Internet when outside the office. But the surging popularity of consumer-oriented smartphones such as the iPhone and devices running on Google's Android software, coupled with their makers' moves to boost security credentials, are pressuring RIM's dominance in the corporate sector. Allowing the rank and file to access corporate email on personal devices also saves companies the cost of supplying a BlackBerry. "If the IT department's security concerns can be addressed it seems to be a win-win" for employers and employees, said James Cordwell, a London-based analyst at Atlantic Equities. In a September survey, Bernstein Research found 83 percent of U.S. businesses allow employees to use non-BlackBerry alternatives to access corporate email. On Thursday, PC maker Dell said it was moving 25,000 BlackBerry-wielding employees over to its own line of smartphones as it eyes gains in the mobile device market. Dell said the move will save money, but RIM disputed that, noting the cost of buying, deploying and supporting new devices. "We find it highly unlikely that they will actually save any money with this move and far more likely they were looking for a little free publicity," Mark Guibert, RIM's senior vice-president of corporate marketing, said in an emailed statement. "Plus, consider the fact that BlackBerry smartphones are far more efficient with respect to data usage, which means that their monthly service charges will also likely increase," he said. EYEING A SWITCH The move by Bank of America and Citigroup follows the lead of JPMorgan Chase & Co and UBS, which said in September they were considering allowing employees to use iPhones or other alternatives to the standard-issue BlackBerry. 1 2 Next Technology Media Comments See All Comments (4) | Post Comment Nov 05, 2010 1:36pm EDT “Plus, consider the fact that BlackBerry smartphones are far more efficient with respect to data usage, which means that their monthly service charges will also likely increase,” Right, because they don’t already have unlimited data plans for there employees who use BB Jimbalaya Report As Abusive Nov 05, 2010 1:56pm EDT If RIMM wants to keep customers, they shouldn’t limit the Torch to AT&T. I’d buy one but I’m not giving up the superiority of the Verizon network. AT&T may cover 97% of Americans but that is where they live, not where they travel, hike, ski, etc. Guess I’ll have to go Droid. Upstate184 Report As Abusive Nov 05, 2010 3:17pm EDT So I’m CEO concerned about productivity? Therefore, I”m going to give out IPhone to my employee so they can use the IOS for gaming at work? and that goes the same for android (Angree birds anybody?) Nice… or how about paying $200 to $800 for and Iphone when you can get blackberry for free? Sounds like I’m working for the goverment :) so much for shareholder value. RichardGR Report As Abusive Nov 05, 2010 3:37pm EDT When you sit down and think about what you need to do with a smart phone for business, there’s no contest really. (1) you should be able to type lengthy complex emails complete with corporate/industry jargon quickly, easily and with few mistakes the first time. (2) you should be able to have secure access to your email. (3) You should have secure access to your corporate CRM and other database information. Sure the consumer phones are working on it, but the a blackberry should be the tool of choice at this point. Where RIM is losing is that people don’t want to use their phone for business purposes really. They want to use a corporate provided phone to play games, watch streaming video, use a wide variety of consumer applications, etc. Which is understandable, just different. majan29 Report As Abusive See All Comments (4) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
