Apparently our WM POC was setup by MS - who feels it is unnecessary and that ISA is sufficient. (wasn't my choice or responsibility)

WM generally yes but can't say about tasks or notes and I personally prefer the BB's GAL lookup - with a large GAL like ours, this is important. 2) Generally yes, but to be fair, MS office docs MAY be more compatible on the WM devices just due to the same vendor. 3) Security - BES has server initiated outbound connection - WM requires exposing your Exchange environment at least partially to the internet. BB intranet web site access via BES without allowing direct internet access is included. ________________________________ From: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 9:27 AM To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: EAS vs. BB - new thread for less confusion I've started a new thread, because my manager is now asking me to create a proposal document for our Director, in order to recommend the "best" solution. I have a few specific questions that may or may not have been covered in the last thread. 1) Does the BB, if I have BES installed in my server room, allow sync of contacts/tasks/calendar etc. Also, just to be fair and complete, does the WM device have this capability? 2) Does the BB have the same ability to open the same types of attachments as the WM device? 3) Are there any other functionalities that one device has over the other, from an end-user perspective, that would be something I need to know about? I'm sorry if the last question is a bit vague, but this is really my first endeavor in these waters, and I'd just like to have as many real world experiences as possible to draw from to make this decision. I do understand that it's not difficult to support both, but I just need to make sure the endusers are going to be satisfied with the chosen solution.
