An Integrated Telecom and IT Service Delivery Platform

IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Web services (WS) are service-oriented architectures developed separately for service delivery in the next generation telecommunications, and IT-centric computing environment, respectively. In order to harness services in both of these platforms and to facilitate combining and blending of services, we propose an integrated telecom and IT Service Delivery Platform for interworking between IMS and WS. We propose to use SIP-based Micro Service Orchestration and Web service bus to seamlessly integrate IMS, WS and the underlying services. We further present an example of managing multimedia services over an Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) infrastructure to illustrate that the proposed Service Delivery Platform has the benefits of supporting rapid development and deployment of new converged multimedia services.
