BlackBerry and Microsoft may have been foes for a long time, but it appears that both have had a change of heart for a common goal. Both companies have announced a partnership that will help you seamlessly use Microsoft’s Office 365-capable mobile apps from inside BlackBerry’s more secure, contained Dynamics space.

With this partnership, you will get the best of both works. You will be able to work on that Excel file across devices without having to make your IT department nervous. This partnership also extends to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform as well. BlackBerry Dynamics and a handful of other service are now available through Azure customers that live in the world of Microsoft.

The partnership between the two companies is likely to be particularly helpful for banks, health care provider, governments and others that often count BlackBerry and Microsoft as customers. If you’re not a BlackBerry or Microsoft fan, there’s always G Suite and other GOogle service that yo can use without having to struggle or break a sweat.
