I have been running the BES server at my work for a couple of years now but I have no experience with BIS so I can't help you there.

As for the iPhone, we have been avoiding them but with the new iOS 4 it has made it easier to manager so we just started a test run with a couple iPhones. Basically active sync has to be enabled on the Exchange server, this is very easy to do and may be done already. Once that is enabled you have to go through the process on your iPhone with an Exchange connection. For the server name enter in your OWA web address (webmail.calgarypuck.com). The iPhone will query this and with your credentials find the information it needs.
So far the people that we have set up say that it works well. It is a little slower then the blackberry but not bad. The one thing that they are not crazy about is that it only syncs email, calendar and contacts, not notes or tasks.
