Helpdesk needs to configure BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) on your BlackBerry for you. In order to synchronize your calendar and contact lists and 'push' your emails out faster to you, you need to first verify that you have the necessary level of service with your carrier. Contact Helpdesk to arrange an appointment for installation. Please plan accordingly as installation can take up to a few hours.
