1. A system for providing communication services, the system comprising:
- a communication network, wherein the communication network is a non-IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network;
one or more subsystems executing on a Service Delivery Platform (SDP) communicatively coupled with the non-IMS network the one or more subsystems of the SDP providing one or more telco functions over the non-IMS network, wherein the one or more subsystems are further adapted to provide one or more IMS services over the non-IMS network, wherein the one or more subsystems comprise a platform adapted to provide an abstraction of the non-IMS network and other resources, wherein the one or more subsystems provide the one or more IMS services but are not an IMS architecture implementation and wherein the platform is not an IMS architecture implementation; and
one or more application servers communicatively coupled with the non-IMS network and executing one or more service level applications that utilize the telco functions and wherein the one or more applications are adapted to access the non-IMS network and resources through the one or more subsystems of the SDP independent of underlying technologies of the non-IMS network and resources.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing services such as provided by Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) with an IP network that is not the IMS. According to one embodiment, a system for providing communication services can comprise a communication network, one or more subsystems communicatively coupled with the network and adapted to provide one or more telco functions, and one or more applications communicatively coupled with the network and adapted to utilize the telco functions.

28. A method of providing communication services, the method comprising:
-
providing by a Service Delivery Platform (SDP) a first telco function over a non-IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network; providing by the SDP a second telco function over the non-IMS network; and providing by the SDP one or more IMS services over the non-IMS network, wherein the computer system is not an IMS architecture implementation, wherein the computer system provides the one or more IMS services without using an IMS architecture implementation, wherein the computer system provides an abstraction of the non-IMS network and other resource and wherein one or more service level applications access the first telco function, the second telco function, or the IMS services through the computer system independent of underlying technologies of the non-IMS network and other resources. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
