BlackBerry helps Spectris transform its systems and data security
The partnership between Spectris and BlackBerry future-proofs the instrumentation and measurement pioneer
No person in the business world can be unfamiliar with BlackBerry . In 2015 it transitioned from being primarily a mobile device manufacturer to become a cybersecurity enterprise software and services company . Known for secure handsets that changed how people work , now BlackBerry is looking ahead , utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning to protect large private- and publicsector operators from present and future cyberthreats .
Robin Wright , Strategic Account Manager with BlackBerry , has been working in IT and cybersecurity for nearly 22 years and has seen the industry evolve from the on-prem IT security model into the present age , where data is front and centre . “ It ’ s our job to look for technologies , threats and solutions coming over the horizon .”
The leading precision measurement and instrumentation company Spectris is a key customer . Like BackBerry itself , Spectris has moved with its markets – a long way from its 1915 inception : For example , Spectris is positioning itself as a key player in the field of autonomous vehicles since it acquired VI-grade in 2918 to boost development of advanced electromechanical products .
Partnership with Spectris has been altogether positive , Robin Wright confirms . “ Spectris was in a security transformation process , looking for a standardised approach across their operating companies . We achieved that , starting with a ‘ tabletop ’ approach from leadership right through to the operational guys . What they liked was that our team could do this from end to end , with one point of contact , rather than bringing in third parties integrate the solution . Collaboration has been great , with weekly calls since the project started in 2020 , at which time they were among our biggest customers in EMEA . Transparent and honest dialogue has been a feature of the partnership . We put a lot of work in , and as a result Spectris has been happy to recommend us to other prospective clients !”
