A major BlackBerry customers is the Department of Defense of the United States, now proposes to reduce its dependence on the company. What will the Canadian multinational
last movements occurred in the multinational BlackBerry could cause unintended consequences for the Canadian company. A few days ago, I finally overtook her aborted sale process, to receive an injection of billions of dollars from Fairfax and other investors.
This amazing movement had jeopardized the company as the most immediate consequence was the farewell of his own CEO, Thorsten Heins , who had been forced to abandon BlackBerry, along with other members of the board.
His short reign in the Canadian company was over, replaced by John Chen , a name unknown to many, but whose professional profile was an interim insurance guarantee for BlackBerry, which could help revive the company in their lowest moments. has plunged into uncertainty
However, it seems that the latest BlackBerry movements have conditioned the loss of confidence by some of its largest customers. And the radical change inspired by the arrival of the company Heins has not had sufficient depth in their economic operations.
Some of the proposals made by BlackBerry during Heins mandate, such as the adoption of the new BlackBerry 10 platform , the product to market as Z10 , Q10 , Q5 and Z30 or the creation of an instant messaging service as BlackBerry Messenger , strong alternative to WhatsApp have not had enough support in the markets.

This loss of confidence is more evident looking at the last movement of one of the largest customers of BlackBerry: Pentagon in the United States. The Department of Defense American country was planning alternatives for the end of the era BlackBerry.
There is no doubt that the Pentagon is one of the most important customers for the company now run by John Chen. Its nearly 470,000 terminals pose a dangerous dependence for the Department of Defense of the United States, which proposes to reduce this relationship with BlackBerry uncertain given the recent movements of the company. The Pentagon has 470,000 BlackBerry terminals
Uncertainty about the multinational promises to be a major headache for the administration of Barack Obama , because the security capabilities of electronic communications so far provided U.S. BlackBerry.
Although in the past the U.S. military flirted with iOS and Android , and even got to certify Samsung Knox , it is certain that the U.S. dependence on BlackBerry can become dangerous. So far, the company is the only one with the ATO concession ( authority to operate ) in the internal networks of U.S. defense.
Pentagonimportance BlackBerry equity is certainly not in vain the Canadian company was marked as priority be certified according to regulation known as Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) , by recognizing that meets federal safety standards.
United States, for all that, you might be considering adopting a multi-vendor system , by which reduce its strategic dependence a single company. This move would put a halt to BlackBerry, and increase uncertainty about their future.
