BlackBerry to Enhance Security with Good Technology Purchase

BlackBerry announced that it plans to acquire Good Technology for $425 million. “Good was an early competitor to BlackBerry in the market for software used by corporations and governments to manage and increase security on employee smartphones,” according to The New York Times. “John S. Chen, BlackBerry’s chief executive, has made dominating that business a key component of rebuilding the company.” While some analysts see potential problems in the costs of merging the two companies’ software, others note that “Good’s technology would allow BlackBerry to improve how its software works with Android phones and Apple iPhones.”
