Computer Business Review
BlackBerry adds crisis communications solution to its portfolio
IT World Canada
“Its recent acquisition of AtHoc and last year's acquisition of SecuSmart show the company is also investing in solutions with vertical-specific appeal, an important strategy to retain existing customers and gain new ones in those regulated industries.”
– IDC
“The ability to integrate mobile devices, PCs and IoT devices into a unified emergency communication system syncs with BlackBerry’s overall strategy around IoT, security/safety, and interconnectedcommunications/telemetry.”
– Strategy Analytics
"Chen’s execution with AtHoc is consistent with this strategy in that BlackBerry at its heart is about secure, reliable communications that people could bet their lives on."
- Rob Enderle, in IT Business Edge
