Now RIM is offering Blackberry Enterprise Server Express for FREE!  BlackBerry Enterprise Server adds the BlackBerry features and advanced messaging capabilities with any internet-enabled BlackBerry phone.

So if you are running Microsoft Exchange or Windows Small Business Server and looking at cost justifying the BES server for your sales team, well here is your free option.  After speaking with RIM we have found that it is limited to 75 Users in a Shared Environment, 200+ users in a Dedicated Server Environment.  There is no BlackBerry Mobile Voice System and area also limited to 40 IT Policies….Small tradeoff for Free Licensing.
