One of the thoughts behind BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express was reducing the costs companies that have employees that have their own BlackBerry devices that they want to hook up to the corporate email system. Even though employees may buy their own BlackBerry device and pay for the monthly service fee, IT shops were faced with the cost of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and client access licenses.
BES Express is free and there are no client access licenses required. BESX even allows BlackBerry users to connect via BlackBerry Inernet Service (BIS) as compared to BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES), unless, of course, you are a Verizon Wireless subscriber.
