How do you benefit from IMS Gold?

As an IMS Gold feedback client, you can help shape the features and enhancements most relevant to your infrastructure and business needs, for example:

  • As a sponsor user, you collaborate with the IMS development team throughout the development cycle, not just in the early design phases.
  • As an IMS Gold feedback client, you get updates on what's new in the IMS development pipeline.

How does it work?

You'll meet with the IMS team regularly. Members also get access to the IMS Gold community and discussion forums. And the best part is that there's no fee to participate in the IMS Gold program.

In the Gold meetings, you will get:

  • Status on new and in-progress IMS enhancements
  • Information on new initiatives and solutions
  • Opportunities to provide the IMS team with feedback
