BlackBerry Dual Service (BDS) is a service for one smartphone to use both BES and BIS. BES is typically used in the corporate world with a Microsoft Exchange Server. BlackBerry smartphone users can send/receives messages in almost realtime while away from the office. They are also able to synchronize the device with their Outlook, contacts and calendars.
