BlackBerry Ltd (NYSE:BB) continues to announce deals that show that its strong IT security offerings are highly valued by the market. Over the medium to long term, these deals will boost BlackBerry’s bottom line and BlackBerry stock. Investors should buy BlackBerry stock so they can profit from the company’s upcoming positive catalysts.
In a recent announcement, BlackBerry said:
“The BlackBerry Secure platform for connecting people, devices, processes and systems, has been integrated with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. Specifically, BlackBerry UEM Cloud, BlackBerry Workspaces, BlackBerry Dynamics, and BlackBerry AtHoc are now available on Azure.”
