IMS is gaining momentum in the market. First operators are deploying IMS, while other operators are considering buying IMS. Operators have two approaches for introducing IMS and building an IMS eco-system:
• Buying IMS from a large vendor or system integrator. Vendors like Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Nokia-Siemens offer full IMS solutions integrating their own products with products from 3rd parties.
• Buying IMS elements from various (smaller) vendors and integrating these elements themselves. For the latter method, standards and open interfaces are key to easily integrate the various IMS elements.
