In my previous post in last year September, I highlighted about the BeamView software (by Beamberry company) where it can use for attachment viewing on blackberry device... in a way that the document on the blackberry can be displayed in their original form as they would look on the computer.
In actual fact, there is another more established software called RepliGo (by Cerience Corporation) that can do the same task. I didn’t mention it because BeamView still offers for free during that time.
With RepliGo, users also have the ability to send original documents as attachments in an email, print to HP Bluetooth printers (beautiful, right?), store documents locally and on the server, and even fax original documents right from the BlackBerry.
For organizations having BlackBerry Enterprise Server, I would think that deploying RepliGo is the only best choice for attachment viewing (compare with Beamview) if they are concerned about security (without compromising content).
This is because Cerience has a cooperate solution called “RepliGo Server” where it can be installed on your own Windows server in your premise (either a separate Windows machine or directly onto the BlackBerry Enterprise Server machine). To understand how the communication flows between the server and device, you may refer to the diagram above.
As for Beamview solution, they don’t have a cooperate edition. All the documents are processed and stored on the provider’s BeamBerry servers.
I also notice that RepliGo is an Alliance member of Blackberry. So, I guess you can have another choice now.
