Realizing unified service experience with SaaS on SOA

Abstract

The rapid spread of IP-based Access technologies and the move towards Core Network Convergence with IMS has led to an explosion in multimedia content delivery across packet networks. IMS provides mobile and multimedia services to the customer along with fixed networks support leading to mobile and fixed convergence. The use of open standard IP protocols, defined by the IETF, allows IMS to easily introduce new services. This transition has led to a much wider and richer service experience, though service experience is limited to the services offered by the service provider subscribed by the customer.
