Mind Commerce knows IMS
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is more than just a fad - it is a completely
new framework for telecommunications network operators, applications and
services. IMS will change everything from the way that services are delivered
across any network, any device, and any service provider. It will also
change OSS/BSS systems in a profound way. IMS will enable the advent of
various types of Virtual Network Operators (VNO) including the Converged
VNO, Content VNO, and Applications VNO.
Service
Delivery Platforms: The SOA-enabled Path
to Integrate Legacy and IMS
Networks
With
research starting in 2007, this report evaluates the potential for SDP as a
dependable, scalable and flexible platform for core business functions, next
generation applications, and independent services. SDP is examined within the
context of its relationship to the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the
objectives to respond more rapidly to shifts in market conditions, customer
demands, new revenue opportunities, and competitive threats. The report includes
revenue forecasts by geography, function, and media type from 2009 through 2015.
This report evaluates a variety of IMS based applications. IMS
applications are evaluated on a world-wide basis with a case study perspective
providing analysis and conclusions for each application deployed by network
operators. Each application is defined and described, and real world commercial
deployments are analyzed.
This report represents
a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the role of IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS) in implementing rich multimedia applications. Although there many
potential IMS applications, this report focuses on the following key rich
multimedia applications: Video Calls, Unified Messaging, Push-to-Talk,
Wireless/Wireline Convergence, Online Gaming, and Video-on-Demand.
Next Generation Messaging: Evolution to IMS and SIP evaluates the
evolving technology and market for messaging. This publication thoroughly
addresses the evolution of SMSC towards 3G IP enabled SMSC, including analysis
of 2nd generation GSM messaging [SMSC] to 3rd generation IMS enabled network
messaging with Instant Messaging (IM). The report takes a use case approach with
the network operator in mind, addressing issues with messaging platforms and how
operators can address them with various solutions. Particular emphasis is placed
on solutions for NGN messaging in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and SIP
environment.
This is a time of fundamental and monumental change in
telecommunications network monitoring. The shift currently happening is nothing
less than the wholesale transformation of the entire communications network
infrastructure built up over the last generation. There are several forces
driving this transformation, including the Internet and the mobile phone. All
participants in the market must evolve to survive and adapt to thrive. This
report key questions for service providers, investors and vendors.
This first report analyzes and forecasts the key IMS Components and User
Equipment (UE). The publication evaluates IMS based on its evolution and
business drivers with an emphasis on its role of plugging gaps in existing
networks. The report also covers the challenges faced by IMS migration. The
report also discusses the architecture of the components and UE along with
insights regarding components and UEs of existing networks that have served as
baseline and predecessor for IMS network elements. Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP), the backbone of IMS, is also covered. The report is particularly
distinguished with its analysis of key IMS vendors, providing vendor background,
their IMS strategies, and product and solution evaluation. Finally, the report
includes detailed market forecasts for IMS Components and UEs including regional
market segmentation.
This publication provides self-paced instruction for IP Multimedia
Subsystem (IMS). This is highly recommended to anyone seeking a better
understanding of the technology and business issues associated with IMS. It is
an excellent alternative to Mind Commerce classroom training and is a great
complement to Mind Commerce market research publications in the areas of SDP,
SOA, and IMS. Anyone purchasing at the Company-wide level will also be eligible
for up to one (1) hour of analyst phone consultation.
Next Generation OSS/BSS Market and Forecasts
The OSS/BSS vendor environment is extremely competitive with close to 400 vendors, mostly specialized in niches and having a strong services arm. Vendor categories include Comprehensive Solution Providing Pure OSS/BSS Vendors, Comprehensive Solution Providing Composite Vendors, Skill-set Extension Solution Providers and Core Strength Concentrators - BSS and OSS. The vendor landscape is characterized by extensive M&A activity. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of drivers and issues related to technical and business aspects of OSS/BSS deployments and developments while forecasting their growth over the next five years.
IMS: New Business Models and Opportunities
Written by leading authority, David Mangini, who has held industry leadership
positions including VP of Wireless Data Solution for AT&T Wireless
Services and VP of Wireless Services for SNET Mobility, this publication
addresses both the technical and business knowledge critical for success
in planning for IMS networks and optimized IMS-based applications and services.
It is written in an easy to read style and is highly informative, with
just the right balance of technical information, business insights, and
consultation about the opportunities and potential pitfalls associated
with IMS. Pragmatic in his approach, David instructs of the merits of IMS
to facilitate convergence while maintaining a focus on business drivers
including flexible service creation and delivery, improved cost structures,
and new revenue streams from emerging applications and services optimized
by IMS.
Presence-enabled Phone Book
The Killer IMS Application
An "Active Phone Book" is one that is dynamically updated based
on personalized preferences and presence of individuals that are linked
to the user within a community of interest. This is one of the first true
"killer" IMS applications.
