Practical Strategies for Expansion of IMS into The Enterprise Sector

• Workshop Led by: ANGELO MORELLI, Executive Director—Global Service Delivery Platform, Communications & High Tech, ACCENTURE

Workshop Objectives

For wireless, wireline and cable operators, the question today is not if Internet Protocol Multimedia subsystem (IMS) will happen, but when. IMS, the open standardized architecture that defines how Internet Protocol (IP) networks should handle voice calls and data sessions, is already a wireless standard. IMS provides the intelligence on top of IP, enabling the creation, control and execution of new, rich media services. But the “all IP” world will not happen overnight and the deployment of IMS will be an incremental journey, for most service providers and enterprises. This workshop will examine some real life examples of IMS implementations around the world and provide practical strategies for those deployments, ensuring that they deliver tangible benefits at minimal risk for the business.
