Appdome and BlackBerry Extend App Functionality for Developers

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--Appdome, the mobile industry’s first cloud service that automates mobile app integration by fusing services such as security and mobility management to mobile apps, and BlackBerry Limited (NASDAQ: BBRY)(TSX: BB), announced today they have enhanced capabilities to enable developers and enterprises to apply rich app-level security controls of BlackBerry Dynamics to existing apps without writing a single line of code. This enables enterprises and developers to seamlessly integrate SDKs to their applications in a matter of minutes.

The new capabilities from AppFusion allows BlackBerry Dynamics SDKs to include secure browsing, secure email and enhanced VoIP Support.

“Appdome is becoming the mobile integration platform of choice for the enterprise mobility industry, and we are excited to expand our offerings with BlackBerry. Not only does AppFusion democratize access to BlackBerry’s powerful technology, it allows enterprises to extend the functionality of their Apps beyond the native functionality of the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK, taking advantage of other BlackBerry and Appdome services,” says Tom Tovar, CEO of Appdome.

“With extended support from Appdome for BlackBerry Dynamics, our customers have more flexibility to easily integrate, use, protect and manage their enterprise apps,” said Billy Ho, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Product and Value Added Solutions, BlackBerry. “We have an expansive ecosystem and continue to invest in strategic partnerships with industry leaders and ISVs that allow us to evolve our offerings.”

The new customized capabilities from AppFusion allow the BlackBerry Dynamics SDKs to work in more environments with four advanced features:

  • The Secure Browsing option ensures that links within the app are opened using BlackBerry Access secure browser instead of the native browser resource. Appdome’s Dynamic Function Scheduler (DFS) ensures that the app “understands” when to invoke the BlackBerry Access secure browser.
  • In-App Secured Email allows the sending of emails, including emails in HTML and emails with attachments, using BlackBerry Work.
  • Adaptive App Routing allows a developer to make the BlackBerry Access SDK bypass the BlackBerry Access gateway to facilitate state-less UDP-class connection to operate effectively for VoIP applications.
  • Nested Filesystems support allows apps that utilize nested filesystems & folders to precisely leverage the BlackBerry container

BlackBerry Dynamics delivers a foundation for secure enterprise mobility by offering an advanced, mature development platform and container for mobile apps. BlackBerry Dynamics is designed to eliminate the risk of data leakage by delivering proven security at the app level. It is also extensible to support a vast and ever-changing set of apps, workflows, and business processes.
