Leading Multi-Channel Provider Kony Solutions Announces Support for BlackBerry 10

Kony Solutions, Inc., the leading mobile and multi-channel application development platform provider, today announced support for the newly launched BlackBerry® Z10 smartphone, as well as the coming BlackBerry® Q10 smartphone.

“With user adoption of mobile devices exploding, it is more important than ever for organizations to deliver an optimized user experience, with applications that run flawlessly on any device,” said Sam Lakkundi, Kony’s Chief Mobile Officer. “The KonyOne Platform enables companies to target virtually any BlackBerry device as a platform for new apps, to easily port existing apps to BlackBerry 10, and optimize their apps for each new device and user requirement.”

“Kony offers enterprise customers the ability to maintain applications across multiple platforms and devices, and we’re delighted to work with them to support customers with BlackBerry 10," said Derek Peper, Vice President, Enterprise Partnerships at BlackBerry.

“BlackBerry has given the mobile workforce a lot more to think about when it comes to the features and functionality they demand,” Mr. Lakkundi continued. "In today's BYOD-drive mobile market, where BlackBerry was the first enterprise mobility company, the capability of BlackBerry Balance technology is important because it separates personal and business data. This promises to help ease concerns about data security for BYOD, and helps companies empower employees and deliver a seamless user experience, regardless of the device they use.”
