The BlackBerry Trade Up Program for IT Professionals
The BlackBerry® Trade Up Program is as an easy and affordable way upgrade to newer
BlackBerry smartphones, reduce support costs, implement hardware refresh policies
and standardized device software. The program provides you with a fair market value
for existing wireless devices to use toward new BlackBerry smartphone purchases.
Here’s how you’ll save both time and money with the BlackBerry Trade Up Program.
Standardizing devices and device software
- Taking old devices out of the field and rolling out new devices will
reduce the number of different device and device software versions that your IT
department has to support.
- Standardizing on a newer code-base can reduce the time your support
staff spends on the phone and the amount of training they require.
Providing an alternative to upgrading software on an aging fleet
- If you are planning to upgrade your BlackBerry Device Software, deploying
newer BlackBerry smartphones that come pre-loaded with the latest operating system
and application versions can also be a very smart alternative to dedicating IT resources
to collecting older devices and manually loading new device software.
Offering an alternative to recycling
- The BlackBerry Trade Up Program is a convenient way for you to dispose
of your inventory of old devices. There are no disposal fees and it’s environmentally
responsible.
