IMS acquired Hot Response in 2003 (renamed IMS Web Services) and in January 2010 built a unique CMS software platform to include the latest Web 2.0 technology, features, tools and lead-generation capabilities.

Hot Response is just one of many products that IMS offers its customers. If you’d like more information on this or other IMS products or services, click here.
