In what has all the
earmarks of being a piece of its conservation from making telephones,
BlackBerry said Friday that it has laid off "a little number of
workers" at its head office here and in Florida.
John S. Chen, the
organization's official administrator and CEO, is moving BlackBerry to an
organization to a great extent in light of offering programming and
administrations to organizations and governments. He has over and over made it
clear that the organization will keep on creating telephones, the item that
made BlackBerry an easily recognized name, just if that business can at any
rate earn back the original investment.
BlackBerry did not
react to addresses about the quantity of individuals influenced. On Thursday,
it recorded a notification with the condition of Florida demonstrating that 75
individuals at an office in Sunrise will be given up for the current month. In
an announcement, the organization said that alternate cutbacks happened in
Waterloo, Ontario.
"As BlackBerry
keeps on executing its turnaround arrangement, we stay concentrated on driving
efficiencies over our worldwide workforce," the organization's
announcement said. "This implies finding better approaches to empower us
to benefit from development opportunities, while heading toward manageable
productivity over all parts of our business."
In an emotional
movement, BlackBerry presented a telephone a year ago that uses Google's
Android working framework instead of its BlackBerry 10 programming.
A month ago, Chen wrote
in a blog entry that he is not abandoning BlackBerry 10, which the
organization's past administration had trusted would restore the brand to its
previous grandness.
"We're not
forsaking the dependable clients who have added to our prosperity," Chen
composed.
In any case, his
dedication stretched out just to changes in the BlackBerry 10 programming and
left open the fate of telephones taking into account that working framework.
The main telephone arrangement he uncovered was the presentation of a second
Android telephone.
"We'll share more
insights about our guide when we're prepared," Chen composed.
A slow move to Android
would dispose of quite a bit of BlackBerry's peculiarity, however it permits
the organization to conquer the relative lack of applications made for
BlackBerry 10. Likewise, by moving the weight of building up the working
framework to Google, Chen will have the capacity to promote lessen costs by
shedding more representatives.
