I know BBs in use in a BES environment can have policies pushed from IM departments. Can consumers do the same thing if they have a "family" of BlackBerries in BIS, or does it have to be a corporate platform?

The only way I can think of is with a program called BlackBerrry
Unite! which acts a a sort of small group BES. I do not in any
way recommend this program. Someone else may have other ideas.

You can take a look at it here:
