Bloomberg has reported today that IBM has "informally" approached RIM about potentially acquiring its enterprise services unit.
Despite the potential, there are no talks currently underway, add the sources.
The struggling BlackBerry maker has been cutting down operating costs for a year now in order to boost earnings, including starting a plan to lay off over 25 percent of its employees.
While a sale would certainly help the company's focus, it appears the Board of Directors is not yet completely sold on moving pieces.
The sources claim the Board has decided to wait until after next year's release of the oft-delayed BlackBerry 10 operating system before deciding on moving forward with any sales.
