tekVizion Announces Comprehensive Suite of
IMS Professional Services
Systems Integration Firm to Provide Testing,
Application Development and Consulting Services Geared Toward
IMS
RICHARDSON, TX (September 19, 2005) – tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, today announced
a new suite of professional services aimed to help the service
provider market transition to IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks
and services.
tekVizion is now offering IMS-specific testing, application development
and consulting services designed specifically for service providers
and their vendor community.
IMS holds great promise to enable MVNOs, wireless and wireline
network operators to use a common foundation to deliver traditional
and multimedia services over any access method using virtually
any type of device. However, IMS is still an emerging set of technologies
with many unique product and design challenges. As new products
emerge, or are upgraded to support IMS, network operators are
faced with the task of researching, designing and testing IMS
solutions that meet their unique business and technology needs.
In addition, products must be tested both for compliance to IMS
specifications as well as for interoperability with other products
in the network.
tekVizion is uniquely qualified to offer these services to the
industry. In addition to their extensive expertise and experience
with next-generation and legacy products and technologies, tekVizion
leverages the unique resources and capabilities of tekVizion LabsTM.
tekVizion Labs is the first independent certification lab of its
kind to provide independent and objective interoperability certification
and testing services for next-generation wireless and wireline
products.
tekVizion is offering the following services for IMS:
- Testing – tekVizion Labs will leverage the expertise,
processes and tools which have contributed to the ever-increasing
success of its VoIP interoperability certification program to
offer interoperability and compliance testing services for IMS.
tekVizion is currently offering IMS conformance testing for
stand-alone products and multi-vendor IMS interoperability certification
testing. Ad-hoc testing is also available for proof-of-concept
testing, call-flow validations, regression testing, and vendor
evaluations.
- Custom Application Development –Recognized in the industry
as a thought leader for innovative service ideas, tekVizion
has expanded the scope of its application design and development
expertise to include the creation of IMS applications that leverage
the many benefits provided by IMS, such as the ability to offer
access-independent, highly personalized and content-rich differentiated
services.
- Consulting – tekVizion can help operators architect
integrated IMS services, including the creation of IMS-specific
call flows which map IMS components to their existing services,
ensuring that the architecture is designed to meet the operator’s
unique business and service objectives. tekVizion can also help
with vendor selection and evaluation for IMS components.
“As the worldwide service provider market segment migrates
to IMS networks, firms like tekVizion are offering the type of
applications innovation, along with supporting testing and consultative
services, that the industry is seeking out”, said Dan Steingas,
IMS market development manager at Intel Corp. “Within our
Modular Communications programs, Intel is working with its program
participants, including innovative firms such as tekVizion for
the IMS, Digital Home, Digital Office, and Digital Mobility market
segments, enabling the kinds of session based services that will
provide scale to the worldwide market in IMS.”
“IMS and next-generation networks are of paramount importance
to the future of the communications industry, and we are seeing
rapid growth in Sylantro-based deployments in the IMS model,”
said Bernard Gutnick, vice president of product marketing for
Sylantro Systems Corporation. “tekVizion’s comprehensive
suite of IMS services gives service providers and our partner
companies valuable resources in creating, testing and deploying
IMS-conformant technologies, services and architectures.”
“We have seen a significant increase in the level of interest
in IMS from our customers over the past two quarters”, said
Lee Phillips, Sr., tekVizion’s CEO. “Operators are
now actively investigating options and testing products as they
prepare for deployment of IMS solutions. tekVizion’s experience
and areas of expertise are a perfect fit for what they are trying
to do, and we are pleased to offer these services to help our
customers capitalize on the new opportunities for revenue-generation
