IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS)
Solution Assessments

The IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) architecture is a blueprint for the construction of next-generation IP services infrastructures. Accordingly, IMS is of prime importance to telecom infrastructure and service delivery vendors. Mobile and fixed service operators across the globe are facing competitive challenges that require the service creation and operation efficiencies that an IMS-based infrastructure will bring. Telecom vendors are stepping in to enable operators to transform their networks. At the same time, these vendors are struggling to differentiate their product offerings in the marketplace and to enable operators to adopt IMS in a gradual and pragmatic manner that enables them to grow revenue while simultaneously transforming their networks.

Current Analysis provides a structured approach to better understanding and responding to your competition. By providing real-time business intelligence on competitor strengths, weaknesses, services, and trends, we enable Competitive Response™ - the process of formulating both strategic and tactical plans for responding to the competition’s every move.
