Abstract
IMS solutions represent a significant element of the shift to NGN, and bring some important benefits in terms of interoperability, flexibility and lower costs of developing, introducing and maintaining services. However, at the same time, the embracement of IMS is not without its risks, adding new management challenges to the NGN service management mix. In this paper we will propose the use of a Service Delivery Platform (SDP) to reduce OPEX and CAPEX expenditures for the operators' community and decrease the risks of their customers churning.
