Technology Challenges
Reinforcing the Layer 2/Layer 3 Infrastructure– IMS requires high levels of stability, availability, and consistency across network
elements, such as DNS and IP topology.– New requirements for OA&M, redundancy, backup, signaling, bearer traffic, VPN, may
require significant changes to existing network models.
Securing the IMS– The distributed nature of IMS creates new requirements for a distributed security
implementation.– IMS must provide: Confidentiality, Communications integrity, Privacy, Availability.
Performance Engineering for the IMS– The distributed nature of IMS, along with new traffic characteristics & services,
require new planning models.– Encompassing: Element-level view, Application-level view, End-user quality-view,
Aggregate (core network) view
IMS Interoperability– Interoperability testing becomes increasingly more complex as the number of
elements & vendors in the solution grows.
– Key criteria include: Manufacturer/model/revision, Service/product definition, Usage scenarios, Required features, Existing infrastructure.

Organizational Challenges
1. Convergence isn’t just about technology Changes in the technology are prompting
carriers to consider organizational convergence
2. Processes & best practices need to be standardized across organizational boundaries “Carrier grade” operations processes must
apply to resources that may be owned & maintained by IT personnel
3. Interfaces and responsibilities must be clearly defined
4. Up-front executive commitment from all involved parties is critical, because issues will occur over the course of the project

Operational - Challenges
1. Cost savings may be a driver, but it may take a while to get there
2. Fault resolution across multiple network and access domains Troubleshooting becomes more complicated
Demarcation points need to be clear

Major program schedule delays are caused by– Failure to commit to key architectural decisions
– Changing priorities due to changes in drivers & business case
– Insufficient Attention to Transport, Network Databases, Signaling/IN, OSS
– Lack of Coordination among Multiple Vendors
– Inadequate Program Management
Operational Issues during Transition– Provisioning, Billing, Maintenance
• OS Migration Must Account for Transitional Network
• Dual Provisioning
• Database Synchronization
– Customer Care, Fault Resolution, Troubleshooting
Impacts– Customer Dissatisfaction, Increased Operational Costs, Delayed Revenue

Best Practices
1. The importance of the Solution Architect Maintains purity of IMS technical vision Provides technical leadership across multiple functional and
organizational teams
2. Strong Program Management is essential Set firm dates for milestones and push hard to stay on schedule
3. Maintain the appropriate lab facilities Minimum of two labs - one for current environment, one for next
release
4. Formalize interactions across vendors, internal orgs, and partners Develop detailed interface specifications with all interested parties at
the table with written commitments for specific responsibilities Formalized IMS program joint-ownership sessions
5. Institute a “Solution Management” function Multivendor IMS is a reality, carriers need a way to ensure integrity of
the solution over time

A Service Scenario: Insurance claims investigation
5. Bill answers the call from Mary and discusses the situation.
Bill, a claims rep. is at the site of a serious bus accident.
Mobile Office extension & call pick-up
Ann, his administrative assistant, covers his calls after two rings.
2. Ann picks up the call for Bill after two rings
3. Ann notes on her ActivePhonebook display that Bill’s availability status is ok to accept only urgent calls via push-to-talk. She considers this urgent as she also knows his location from the iLocator display.
4. Ann contacts Bill using click/push-to-talk service (VoIP to Wireless). Bill gives his approval & Ann uses “click-to” transfer the call to Bill.
1. Mary, the president of the bus company, calls Bill’s number. The call rings on both Ann’s and Bill’s phones (presence enabled simultaneous ring).

A Service Scenario: Insurance claims investigation(Continued)
4. Bill and Mary decide they need to bring a bus representative into the discussion, they click-to-conference in the bus sales representative.
MaryBill
Bill is talking to Mary on his 3G phone device about the accident.
Mary wants to understand quickly if her company is at fault.
1. Bill initiates a Push-to-Show session with Mary showing the likely cause of the accident is a faulty bolt that caused the wheel to fall off.
2. He then instant messages Ann for any records on recent claims related to faulty bolts. Ann file transfers the record abstracts.
3. Mary looks up the bus’s maintenance record. It might be a manufacturing defect on the bus. She file transfers a copy to Bill’s phone.
