true about 5-10% of the time. companies lease enterprise servers from providers, but unless you are a company like encana or government, the cost far outweighs the benifit. Most people and companies are on a BIS server (blackberry internet service), where emails are filtered through the internet. on a BES server (blackberry enterprise server) the server sits behind the company firewall, next to the email server, and shoots them over the network to you. the BES admins can set permissions on the device like internet access, program restrictions ect.

just a little FYI for those that care.

And for those that care, BES server software is not that expensive. 100 bucks a person for life. Never sync via desktop again. It's actually free for the first person you hook up and good for under 1 - 15 units.

15+ people it's about ~3K for the program but if you buy a bunch of crackberries they'll usually discount or throw it in for free.

^ As above.. BES Servers are also nice because they provide full integration with your Exchange server for calendars, notes, tasks etc..

So, if you're a small company that wants full functionality, a BES servers features far outweigh the costs associated.. at least that's what our company thought, and we only have 70ish people.
