Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2012 -- IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) represents a framework for development, deployment, and operation of various applications for support of any-network, any-device, and service provider usage. IMS consists of standards based technologies, architecture, and network elements that bring telephony type control to Internet based applications.

The long-term promise of IMS is that it will dramatically simplify many operations include key OSS/BSS functions such as provisioning, administration, billing, and others. However, the more near term implementations of IMS fall short of this ultimate vision. Applications are initially deployed in a silo fashion as a prerequisite to a more integrated network realization.
