IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS)
Solution Assessments

The IMS architecture is a blueprint for the construction of next-generation service delivery platforms and network infrastructures. Accordingly, IMS is of prime importance to telecom infrastructure vendors. Mobile and fixed service provider networks across the globe are facing inevitable technology convergence, generating demand for IMS expertise that will transform their networks from static pipes to optimized service delivery environments.

Telecom vendors are stepping in to enable these network transformation projects. At the same time, these vendors are struggling to differentiate their product offerings in the marketplace, while trying to keep pace with evolving infrastructure framework and competitor movements.
