re: bes4.1 mds

hello
a few officers in my company would like to have the bes installed for the office. So, i have to learn bes
i need to know if i need the mds component in order for the bb's to use third party apps - for example, i know one user has a stock quote viewer - would that continue to work without that component?

thx

You only need the MDS component to allow access to your company resources. For instance your corporate intranet, an in-house application, etc. Any third party such as the stock quote viewer you mentioned or Google Maps for example do not need MDS to continue functioning.

thank you for your reply
then i should be ok with not installing that component - we have no intranet, web presence etc
