Does your company support Blackberrys? Do they have a Blackberry Exchange Server? Ask you IT guys and your service provider. Good luck and YES it can if all the back end is set up right.

From the manuals
To perform this task, your BlackBerry® device must be associated with an email account that uses the BlackBerry® Internet Service or a
BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature. For more information, contact your wireless service provider or administrator.
