Setting up work accounts
Add a work account supported by an EMM solution from BlackBerry
If your organization uses an EMM solution from BlackBerry, you can add your work account to your device and take
advantage of features like BlackBerry Balance. If your organization hasn't upgraded to BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10
and is using BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5 or earlier, you can still add your work account and have it use Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync. For more information, contact your administrator.
