FAQ
IMS is a professional inventory management system for the telecom industry.  With intelligent functionalities built on top of the (oracle) database,  IMS supports every telecom organisation in registering the variety of telecom networks and related processes.

Most of the telecom companies have multiple IT solutions for keeping track of their networks, network inventory,  capacity management, workflow, order management, faulthandling,  warehouse- spare management and vendor- contract management.  Working with IMS will help your organization to centralize the data without the need to use multiple systems containing the same data.  With the IMS interface adapter it is possible to interface to other IT solutions.

IMS will help to shorten the lead times of processes like: service delivery, fault handling, sales, capacity management and network configuration.
