BIS
For 1 or 2 person setting up BES might be an overkill unless you love to play with configurations. A normal Blackberry service plan gives the user access to BIS - which is a blackberry server that will pull the mails from your mail server and push it to the device. If your server's mails can be accessed through pop/imap from the net, have the client setup the the office address in her BIS account. BIS can also handle calender invites.
BIS polls for new email every 15 minutes - this can't be changed.
BES
For contacts, you need to go for BES though.
BES is the answer for most Blackberry question but the effort that it takes, sometimes it's easier to use the BIS that comes with every Blacberry plan.
For smaller organisations: BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express . First license is free, and subsequent ones are only $99/each, up to a maximum of 15 users.
Its the full BES, so you aren't getting shorted.
BPS
Forwarding
Most BlackBerry service providers will also offer a free email address, as a last ditch solution you could simply forward a copy of your domain email account to this.
Recommendations:
For smaller clients, BIS. If instant email reading is required you could also set up forwarding to the free email address. Any replies to this email would not come from your domain account, but you should also receive the email from your domain account's server within 15 minutes.
