The cold fact is, telecom departments aren't going to ditch TDM and run to IMS anytime soon. But it's also true that any forward-thinking telecom manager (which is to say, any telecom manager who is going to have a career after the next year or two) had better be thinking hard about IMS. Convergin's Accolade, an infrastructure or large enterprise product, is a fixed mobile convergence platform that lets managers bridge the two worlds by managing protocol conversion at the core of the network, rather than at the edge.
