IMS architecture enables innovative and differentiated person-to-person and person-to-content multimedia services in a standardized manner. IMS-based services have the capability to enhance and change the way we communicate. Users will be able to handle different communication means at the same time.
 

Once the application developers are familiar with the IMS technology, the next step is to get started with the SDS tool. This tool provides end-to-end support for the design, coding and testing of value-added services that leverage the capabilities of IMS. SDS provides a multitude of templates and wizards to help the developer shorten project lead times.

When your application is ready for live IMS environment testing, Ericsson Mobility World Developer Program can help you test and verify it remotely or on-site with an IMS commercial operator network.
