Hello All<br />
<br />
We are using BES 4.1.7 and are looking to migrate to BES 5.0.2. Our environment is about 6,000 Blackberry users spread over about &nbsp;4 BES domains (based on the continents - America, Europe, Asia-PAC, Canada). Each BES domain contains multiple BES servers.<br />
<br />
We have the option of either going for an in-place upgrade of the existing servers or creating new 5.0.2 environments from scratch and then using the Transporter tool to move users across.<br />
<br />
I was wondering what experience people had on this forum of either method and what their recommendation would be?<br />

BES Upgrade strategies

The BlackBerry operating system is proprietary; releases beginning with BlackBerry 10 include support for applications written for the Android platform. As such, developers can use almost any programming language that can be used for other smartphones, including Java, Adobe Air, .NET and HTML5/JS (via an app packaging framework like PhoneGap) .

BlackBerry Programming

BlackBerry devices can record video, take photos, play music and also provide functions such as Web-browsing, email messaging, instant messaging, and the multi-platform BlackBerry Messenger service, and specializes in secure communications and mobile productivity.
