As reported by Reuters, the next step to optimize the organizational structure of the BlackBerry was the formation of units BlackBerry Technology Solutions, which will manage the former chief engineer of Sony-Ericsson and the author of 73 patented inventions Sandeep Chennakeshu.
Under the control of the new unit will move the company's assets Paratek, which is engaged in the development of antennas and BlackBerry has bought in 2012. Forty-four thousand patents will also be in charge of this department. In addition, it will control the development of cryptography, operating system and QNX platform Project Ion. Note that the operating system based on QNX development is not only used in smartphones BlackBerry, but in-car entertainment devices, Internet routers and even nuclear reactor control systems.
It would seem that such a group of assets may indicate intent BlackBerry prepare them for sale, but this is not the case. Judging by the mood of John Chen, the most promising areas of development are grouped in one place, in order to achieve synergies and generate new revenue streams. Such steps, in his opinion, accelerate the transformation of the company.
