This course will provide a clear description and analysis of the IP Multi Media Subsystem. It will not provide an explanation of dynamic registration procedures or the encoding of Diameter protocol messages; such a course would be targeted towards engineers and of little practical relevance to anyone else. We will ensure that the basics of IMS are clearly explained and, more importantly, will deliver knowledge that will enable you to place it in context. What does it mean for your organisation? Why is it relevant? What can we learn from the hype? What else is there to consider?

The Workshop will start at 09.30 and will finish at around 18.00.
Workshop language is English.
