Blackberry maker RIM (Research in Motion) to setup R&D support base in India

As per media reports, Blackberry-maker Research In Motion (RIM) will soon set up its R&D and customer support base in India. The company could in fact look at turning India into a hub for its customer support services eventually. The Ontario, Canada-based company is yet to finalise the size of investment.

The company is also working with a number of Indian software development companies popularly referred to as independent software vendors (ISVs) for developing enterprise applications that run on its mainstay Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES). It is BES that runs all the enterprise-centric apps based on RIM’s highly successful `Push services’ platform, including corporate e-mails, for its corporate customers.
