3 Hong Kong, the mobile telecommunications division of Hutchison Hong Kong, in partnership with BlackBerry is now offering its enterprise customers Enhanced SIM-Based Licensing (ESBL). With the new ESBL offering, 3 Hong Kong enterprise customers can access the BES12, a cross-platform EMM solution by BlackBerry, integrated with their wireless monthly subscriber billing. The ESBL offering in conjunction with BES12 supports iOS, Android™, Windows Phone® and BlackBerry®10.
The offering will enable 3 Hong Kong to resell to its enterprise customers licences for BlackBerry EMM services as a bundled offer along with airtime and a data plan. The ESBL comes with granular monthly billing, and the ability to consolidate all users to one monthly billing date. This helps 3 Hong Kong facilitate customer payments for BlackBerry EMM services which customers can easily and quickly sign on to at the carrier's point of sale. The ESBL, said 3 Hong Kong, is also integrated with its existing carrier provisioning systems, helping the company keep tab of its customers' licensing status while opening up further upsell opportunities.
At 3 Hong Kong, we strive to capitalize on our market-leading position to encourage the adoption of data services in the industry. By working with BlackBerry to enable ESBL, our enterprise customers will find buying software and data-services easier than ever. This simplifies how organizations buy and use mobility, and further enhances our commitments to customers.
Gallant Leon, Managing Director, North Asia, BlackBerry
As the leading global EMM provider, BlackBerry is constantly looking at ways to drive additional value for our carrier partners, by better addressing our mutual customers' evolving mobility needs. With BES12, BlackBerry is uniquely positioned to combine an operator's device and data billing with customers' consumption of additional services. ESBL is designed to offer enterprises a more productive, secure and flexible business solution. We are delighted to see 3 Hong Kong extend these benefits to its customers.
