ActiveSync & BlackBerry Enterprise Security Implementation Schedule

Security measures will be applied to both ActiveSync and BlackBerry personal digial assistants (PDAs). The plan is to stagger the implementation; first applying the security measures to ActiveSync devices, then following up with BlackBerry devices.
