BlackBerry® Professional Software and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express

[michellef]

Hi All, I am looking for some advise if possible as I have a customer who currently uses BES but as there is only 1 user in the company and they are looking at cutting costs they are considering moving to BES Express.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide me with instructions on how this can be done?

Reason is that their IT guy didn`t install the BES and is cautious about changing to BES Express so I am looking for as simple a guide as possible.

I await your expert assistance out there.......

What I really need to know in simple terms is the following:

Is it a case of uninstalling BES software from current server and then installing BES Express?

If anyone can give the process would be greatful.
