| Workday | SAP HCM (HR) | Workday HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2017 |
In 2014 Blackberry implemented Workday HCM as its Core HR application, initiating a global HCM transformation that delivered a production Workday HCM solution within 10 months across 34 countries and servicing over 4,000 employees. The engagement was positioned as the HCM lead program to replace SAP HCM, aligning with a broader Talent Acquisition roadmap and centralized HRIS strategy.
The implementation focused on Core HR and talent acquisition workflows, delivering configured Workday HCM tenant capabilities alongside a phased Workday Recruitment rollout in subsequent years. Workday HCM was aligned with existing recruitment and compliance initiatives, and the program coordinated sequence integrations and modernization efforts that included Taleo, E-verify, and prior E-Recruiting projects to preserve recruiting and onboarding continuity.
Operational delivery was managed by a global HRIS team, led by a single HCM Lead, with seven HRIS Analysts and a Change Management Specialist responsible for global configuration, testing, and adoption. Governance included bi-annual Workday release management, and the organization successfully executed five Workday releases without incident or business impact.
Project management emphasized global rollout governance and process standardization, partnering with internal stakeholders to embed HR programs and operational requirements into Workday HCM. The program narrative states that these efforts reduced costs and increased profits while providing a scalable HRIS foundation for BlackBerry across its international sites.

| In-House Applications | Legacy | In-House Blockchain | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | Blackberry | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018, BlackBerry implemented an In-House Blockchain as a Blockchain Platform to create an ultra-secure storage and sharing ecosystem for healthcare data, leveraging the company reputation for security as it expanded into regulated sectors such as healthcare and the Internet of Things. The implementation of the In-House Blockchain was positioned alongside BlackBerry enterprise offerings to address medical data flows from endpoints to laboratories and diagnostic services.
The deployment architecture centers on using BlackBerry network operating center resources to power the ONEBIO blockchain service, with functional capabilities focused on encrypted data storage, anonymization workflows, and controlled data exchange. The solution design emphasizes collection pipelines from patient devices, laboratories, and IoT biometric devices, and includes data anonymization modules before data sharing.
Operational coverage for the Blockchain Platform targets healthcare research and diagnostic workflows, with an initial pilot tied to the Global Commission created to accelerate diagnostics for children with rare diseases, an initiative co-chaired by Shire. The rollout is being executed as a trial program to evaluate whether the platform can shorten diagnostic timelines, with BlackBerry acting as the implementer and operational steward.
Governance and process changes concentrate on data privacy controls, secure key management, and laboratory integration patterns, reflecting BlackBerry security and compliance priorities. The In-House Blockchain implementation sits alongside BlackBerry Spark for secure IoT, creating an architectural bridge between device endpoint telemetry and auditable, anonymized medical data exchange.
