BlackBerry Reports a Jump in Software Sales - The New York Times

A Good trick

"The sharp rise in software and services sales was partly the result of BlackBerry’s acquisition of a former rival, Good Technology. Like BlackBerry under Mr. Chen, Good’s focus was on software systems that allow companies and governments to manage data on employees’ mobile phones and tablets.

Mr. Chen repeatedly declined to say how much of the increase in the company’s software sales came from Good during the quarter. But he did say that revenue from licenses for software developed by BlackBerry rose 43 percent. Software sales during the quarter were $154 million."
