1) Redefined, Web-Based BlackBerry Administration Service in BES 5.0 The new BlackBerry Administration Service in BES 5.0 is Web-based, meaning no desktop client needs to be installed on administrators' machines.
2) Wireless Device Upgrades for BES 5.0 Users BES 5.0 features new functionality that allows administrators to search for updates to their users' handheld operating systems (OS) directly through BES, instead of having to scour several carrier sites or RIM's own BlackBerry downloads page to see if new software is available.
3) Advanced Scheduling of IT-Related Tasks in BES 5.0 BES admins can choose to push out a new application or service, or modifications to an existing application, to users automatically on a Saturday to ensure that it's available for a Monday morning meeting.
4) Fully Customizable Roles, Permissions in BES 5.0 The new version of BES also gives administrators far more control over admin and user roles and permissions
5) Improved Enterprise Application Management in BES 5.0 BES 5.0 lets administrators assign a variety of application permissions to individuals or groups of users, so for example, GPS location information could be restricted on all devices except the CEO's. "Problem" or suspect users could have stricter policies applied to their devices, to say, block application access to phone information.
