Blackberry Balance to segregate professional and personal data

Research In Motion is securing its corporate market by introducing a new software which shall segregate personal mails from professional data and other applications sponsored by employers in its Blackberry device, sources informed.

The software would provide users with two phones in one; the step has been taken to combat competition in the corporate segment.

As IT companies are increasingly permitting employees to use their smartphones at work, leading to confidential data management on these devices; securing their data becomes important for these companies, especially with relation to devices which use the android, which is less secure than the other smartphones, sources reported.

According to sources, the software being introduced is called Blackberry balance which will enable IT departments to control business related data via Blackberry Enterprise Server and leave out personal photographs, web browsers and social networking applications in the device.

The testing of the software Balance is on and it is expected to be available in North America within two months.
