Dublin, Ireland – September 9th, 2008 - Today, Oghma Services announced that it has formed a partnership with SolanoTech to combine its training expertise with SolanoTech’s knowledge of IPTV and IMS, and to produce high quality/topical workshops and courses targeting the telecommunications / ICT sector.

IPTV and IMS are two of the most topical and important issues facing the telecoms industry today. IMS is key to the implementation and deployment of true next generation networks.
