New BES Office 365 Server Supports EWS

Blackberry has just released the new Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) for Office 365 - http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/subcategories/?userType=2&category=BlackBerry+Enterprise+Server&subCategory=BlackBerry+Enterprise+Server+for+Microsoft+Office+365

This new BES server supports Exchange Web Services (EWS) and allows organizations using Office 365 to continue to host BES themselves.

Remember you still can also use the Blackberry Business Cloud Services (BBCS) which is hosted by RIM and connects to Office 365 as part of the Exchange Online cost (http://ca.blackberry.com/business/software/cloudservices.html and http://docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/subcategories/?userType=2&category=BlackBerry+Business+Cloud+Services).
