• The drivers for IMS are clear. The Internet world is converging with the telecom world. The competitive battlefield is taking place in value added services and new applications for the end user of these services. Rich media content is here. The business and the technical issues - what to do and how to do it - are united. At the end of the day, it is about a future world of broadband access anywhere to any content from any device. Everyone’s market is being opened up to everyone else.

  IMS architecture is becoming commonly accepted as the migration path towards a total converged future network for fixed, wireless, and Cable. How do we get there? What are the steps in this evolution? The current challenge for service providers with IMS lies in finding the right balance between the business plan – what are the right revenue generating new applications and services to be introduced – and the right choices for the network infrastructure migration.

  The IMS Evolution Summit is your opportunity to listen, discuss, debate and learn…

  The DRIVERS
      - What are the right revenue generating new applications and services to be introduced, and the potential revenue streams from composite applications?

  The BENEFITS
      - How will IMS provide operators with an intelligent, convergent network architecture that will improve their service velocity, decrease time to launch new services, and aid in expanding existing service offerings?

  The CHALLENGES
      - How will Service Providers integrate Service Delivery Platforms with legacy billing systems, provisioning, and charging?

  The ROAD AHEAD
      - How are carriers integrating next generation architecture and maintaining legacy assets as they balance the transition from circuit switched in their networks, and what is the timeline for IMS?
