Yahoo Finance BlackBerry (BB) Announces Strategic Collaboration With Adobe
BlackBerry Limited BB and Adobe ADBE have announced a collaboration to introduce BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) with Adobe Experience Manager Forms. The companies aim to develop a secure forms solution for mobile that guarantees efficient document processing, which meets security standards required by regulated industries.
The partnership aims to address the challenges faced by its users in completing and authorizing documents without using desktops, which limited their mobility and productivity. The new solution allows its users to securely and electronically sign documents on their employer-issued or BYO mobile devices without a VPN.
The BlackBerry UEM manages public key infrastructure certificates to ensure a secure connection to Adobe Experience Manager. This collaboration enables government, financial services, healthcare and legal organizations to modernize and develop operations while maintaining high security.
