IMS Operations Savings and Time to Market Improvements

Overview Service providers are often forced to deploy stand-alone, individual service applications (referred to as "Point solutions") to meet revenue pressures; and are faced with the complex and expensive task of integrating these solutions and associated operations after investing in the infrastructure. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture is designed to provide an environment where applications can share common functions and interact seamlessly. The measure of success of an IMS infrastructure will depend on the service provider's ability to quickly and cost-effectively introduce and manage new revenue-generating applications. This paper describes the results of an analysis conducted to quantify and determine how applications/services deployed using an IMS infrastructure can reduce operations costs and improve Time To Market (TTM).
