It offers efficient deployment and management of end users' services. Ericsson is the industry leading provider of IMS and has the capability to plan, deploy and support the service providers in a stepwise approach towards an IMS environment. These are a future proof investment that will secure continuous service enhancements of any of today's networks.

This efficient evolution to converged all-IP operations addresses all fixed and mobile core network domains:

- Circuit switching
- Softswitching
- Packet core
- IMS
- User management

Cut costs

Ericsson provides migration to all-IP networks, thus providing the flexibility for multi-service networks while cutting cost.The Softswitch solutions with centralized control provide migration to telephony over IP with significant cost advantages compared with legacy systems. Adding multimedia services, IMS offers a network consolidation resulting in lower costs than delivering services from separate platforms.

Our approach to user management offers rationalization of data management to cut costs and also makes it easier to launch and personalize new services.

Grow revenue with attractive services

IMS provides top line revenues and differentiation for the operators and this is thus a driver to launch IMS based services packages. IMS reduces churn towards internet services by enabling attractive offerings with blended services, applications and enablers for third part service providers, all with multi access possibilities.

By combining voice, text, images and video into various service packages there will be compelling offers for all customers.

As Ericsson has a market leadership in the commercial arena we already today provide a range of attractive services based on the technology of the future.

Drive efficiency and manage risks

Operators achieve secure investments due to the scalability and migration possibilities of Ericsson solutions. The scalability makes sure increased traffic capacities can be provided for voice and data. Smooth migration to efficient high capacity IP networks provides an environment for offering new services. By building the IP network end users will gradually utilize the growing availability of IMS services.
