BlackBerry has moved beyond its hardware roots and has successfully restructured its business; the company’s IoT story is evolving, but, the market is noisy and crowded while BlackBerry’s software assets remain fragmented.
BlackBerry updated a large contingent of technology and financial analysts at its annual event in its San Ramon offices this past April; while the company is significantly smaller than it was at its peak in 2011, it remains as a very relevant security-first technology vendor.
