RIM prepares enterprise customers for BlackBerry 10
Research in Motion (RIM) has announced the BlackBerry 10 Ready Programme, designed to address the needs of BlackBerry enterprise customers as they prepare for the launch of BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 in early 2013. The programme will be introduced in a phased approach with four components. The BlackBerry 10 Ready Offer and the BlackBerry 10 Ready Webcast Series are currently available, and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server License Trade Up and BlackBerry 10 Readiness Services components will be available ahead of the global BlackBerry 10 launch on 30 January 2013. 

The BlackBerry Ready Offer gives BlackBerry customers with BlackBerry Technical Support at the Advantage level or higher the chance to win a free BlackBerry 10 smartphone. Customers will need to install and run BlackBerry Mobile Fusion and successfully complete an online learning course to qualify. 

The BlackBerry 10 Webcast Series is a weekly webcast, supported in multiple languages, that is designed to share information, answer questions about RIM's enterprise product portfolio and prepare enterprise customers with the tools they need ahead of launch. 

BlackBerry Enterprise Server License Trade Up offers customers who purchase BlackBerry 10 the ability to trade their existing BlackBerry Enterprise Server licenses on a one-for-one basis free until 31 December 2013. 

The BlackBerry 10 Readiness Services provide customers with change management and planning migration tools, and application development services beginning in January.
