When most of our VPs want to dump their Blackberries for iPhones and the CEO wants me to add his iPad to our wifi network. I think it seems apparent Apple is entering our enterprise world.

I'm working helpdesk with a cloud based IT provider now and not a single one of our 500 companies have a BES server. None of them.

Also as a cloud provider we do have a few BES servers floating around, but we are talking like two out of hundreds companies.

That seems a bit strange though. Large companies tend to be pretty slow getting rid of the old stuff. And BES is still far from dead.

We're adding iphones to our network, but I dont see us getting rid of our BES any time soon.

Our company, a software development firm, is even writing in-house apple apps to increase productivity. Many of my management functions are app-enabled, for instance timesheet verification, schedule change approvals, expense account submissions, etc. All mid-level managers and higher are issued an iPhone and iPad and we get an awful lot of productivity out of them. I know we are not the only ones going in this direction as we are building custom apps for other companies to use in-house as well.

Blackberry's are better at some tasks but I agree, they are essentially "done".
