The eOffice solution works on all currently shipping BlackBerry devices, connected both through BlackBerry Enterprise Server architecture and carrier-hosted BlackBerry Internet Service solution for individual customers. It is available immediately without any upgrade requirements to the enterprise server or the BlackBerry device operating system.

eOffice for BlackBerry also enables users to create new documents and spreadsheets. Edited documents retain all original formatting. According to QuickOffice. "All features, including editing native files, are available even when the BlackBerry is not wirelessly connected or in airplane offline mode [and] eOffice is also seamlessly integrated with BlackBerry's email client."

eOffice also integrates with Microsoft SharePoint and comes with an online account "with unlimited space for storing, retrieving, faxing and printing documents."
