Our Technology workgroup, formally the IMS group has updated three of its deliverables to reflect the impact that new initiatives will have on future telecoms technologies.
As our industry transforms, we’ve expanded our IMS workgroup to account for new initiatives and smart technologies that impact Carrier business. This transformation has been reflected directly in how we run our workgroup by expanding the scope of our work and becoming the “Technology workgroup”.
Over the last 12 months the members have been working on updating existing deliverables to support transformation in the industry. The group unites players from across the Carrier ecosystem to take on some of the biggest challenges that face Carrier businesses. We’ve been extremely active in creating recommendations and deliverables that support our industry and help to solve these issues.
Our Technology workgroup has created documents and guidelines that can create value through collaboration.
