BBM Enterprise

What BBM Enterprise is for

BBM Enterprise is a mobile messaging and collaboration app for organizations that want secure chat on phones. The developer describes it as cross-platform, so the same app runs across a variety of devices. It is aimed at teams that need fast back-and-forth messaging alongside tighter control over corporate data.

The developer contrasts it with enterprise chat tools that were first built for desktop computers. Its pitch is a mobile-first experience that still sits within a security model meant for businesses.

Chatting one-to-one and in groups

Direct conversations and group discussions both run inside BBM Enterprise, so a team does not need a separate app for each. The developer presents it as a single app for mobile messaging and collaboration. Group threads are the place where decisions are discussed as they happen.

Sharing files inside conversations

File sharing takes place in the same chats as the messages. The developer says these shared files get the same protection as the text around them. The listing does not break down which file types are supported.

Seeing when messages are received and read

Senders can see when a colleague has received a message and when they have read it. The developer presents this as the basis for collaborating with confidence and in real time. It is also the feature the developer ties to accountability in group work.

Security for corporate data

The developer describes end-to-end security for messages and files, aimed at organizations that handle sensitive corporate information. It is positioned as an added layer of protection over that data. Speed, reliability and privacy are the three qualities the developer names as the reason to use BBM for work communication.
