I'm a network administrator and the company have just purchased some blackberries. They would like to use them with our server.
Now I know some people have just put the username and password and accessed the emails with no software on the server but I have read about BES and its installation process.
My question is, do we need it? I know it is free, but what can be accessed with BES express that cannot when simply adding the email details?
We are on SBS2011 which contains MS Exchange 2010 SP1.
BES is far from free. It will give you control over the devices that access your system but you have to buy user licenses (Cals) for each user. My old company simply used the OWA method of accessing the Exchange server and it worked well.

Can anyone point me toward where I can read about the security risks involved in connecting users via OWA, or the additional benefits of connecting via BESX? Thank you.

BIS with OWA offers nothing cept for email. no wipe, no controls.
