IBM Lotus Domino and BlackBerry Applications
An Overview for Effectively Creating BlackBerry Applications that Interact with Domino Databases

Executive Summary
Only 18 percent of the world’s 50 million mobile professionals can access business data and applications wirelessly. Of these nine
million users, the majority can access only email. Extending the reach of critical business applications to mobile workers has been
proven to increase productivity and efficiency, generating measurable ROI. By mobilizing IBM® Lotus® Domino® applications and
enabling those gains, IT departments can leverage their investments and drive revenue, rather than cost. [1]
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server is part of an integrated mobility solution that connects Lotus Domino databases to mobile users
with minimal effort and expense. With “Out of the Box” control of devices through IT Policies and secure connectivity to your
environment, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution ensures that your application data remains confidential.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution offers several free development options to enable applications for wireless usage. These include:
1. A full-featured Java™ Micro Edition (Java™ ME) development environment called the BlackBerry® Java™ Development
Environment (BlackBerry JDE)
2. BlackBerry® MDS Studio, a rapid application development (RAD) environment to extend existing Web Services, and
3. Optimizing web content for viewing on the BlackBerry® Browser.

The BlackBerry Mobile Data System
Mobilizing applications for the BlackBerry platform increases responsiveness to customers and partners by optimizing staff
resources. The median user of BlackBerry-mobilized applications reclaims 196 hours of productivity per year [2]. By linking
distributed groups more closely, the average efficiency of BlackBerry-mobilized teams increases 29 percent. These productivity
gains allow IT departments to step out of their traditional, reactive “cost center” roles and build enabling applications that increase
revenue across the entire workforce.
The BlackBerry® Mobile Data System is an optimized application development framework for the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution.
It provides application management, rapid time-to-market, and the data security required for using the wireless network to access
corporate applications.
Application and Device Management
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server functions as the middleware between the Domino server and the BlackBerry devices. As part of the
BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the BlackBerry Manager application provides the IT department with full control over their BlackBerry
environment, including the applications running on end-users’ devices.
Managing BlackBerry Browser Applications
The Access Control settings in the BlackBerry Manager provide granular control over BlackBerry users’ browser access. While other
devices allow only “all or nothing” control, the BlackBerry Manager provides administrators with complete authority over the Web
sites users can view. The BlackBerry Manager also allows IT to determine which content is pushed out to specific users and which
administrators can perform the push. Push Rules ensure that content is deployed to only authorized users in compliance with
company policies.
Managing Custom Java and Third Party Applications
The Software Configurations in the BlackBerry Manager enable consistent configuration of policies regulating third-party and
custom wireless applications. Using simple drop-down menus, administrators can mark wireless applications as optional, required,
or not allowed. The BlackBerry Manager then enforces these permissions across all devices in a designated group. Administrators
can use the All Users or User Groups tabs to inspect the configurations of each wireless device.
Managing BlackBerry MDS Studio
The BlackBerry Manager provides similar control over applications built with the BlackBerry MDS Studio rapid application development
(RAD) environment. With just a few clicks, administrators can quarantine or remove any application, schedule application deployment
on any number of devices or groups of devices, and upgrade BlackBerry MDS Studio applications on all or some devices.
