 Zenprise 3.1 lets systems and email administrators proactively resolve the most complex end-user related BlackBerry issues in real time. Using patent pending algorithms, Zenprise identifies problems in enterprise BlackBerry and Microsoft Exchange environments, pinpoints the root cause and delivers step-by-step instructions to fix the problem.
 With new dashboards that provide granular detail on individual BlackBerry users, Zenprise 3.1 builds on its comprehensive BlackBerry management solution, and VIP dashboards guarantee the highest service levels for critical executive users in the organization. Zenprise Inc. has added more problem signature files from the RIM knowledgebase to power Zenprise's unique step-by-step resolution instructions. Customers can now use Zenprise to troubleshoot more than 5,500 problems across the BlackBerry infrastructure, which means a faster mean time to repair and improve overall user service levels.
