"No one vendor has all the IMS pieces. Carriers are choosing to use components [from several vendors] and a system integrator, and now they are separating the myth from reality. That's why you are seeing lots of lab trials and [IMS] plug fests. [For IMS,] 2007 will be a critical year: carriers will learn and draw conclusions. If it turns out well and it is a reasonable solution and all the pieces work, there will be some deployments in 2008. If it proves hard to work and is a complex integration there will be no definite timeline."
