About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Flimp Launches Embeddable Employee Benefits AI Agent for Answering Employees' HR and Benefits Questions





New, closed-AI chatbot can be trained on company-specific information to improve education and eliminate repetitive employee questions

BOSTON, MA June 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Flimp, a leading provider of employee benefits communication and decision-support solutions, today announced the launch of its Employee Benefits AI Agent product. This closed-system, secure, AI-enabled chatbot can be customized for individual employers and then embedded into their benefits guides, microsites, virtual fairs, or websites to help employees and spouses answer benefits and HR-related questions. The new product provides self-service, live support from AI agents trained to understand a company's benefits offerings, health plans, policies or other important information.

Save Time with AI Chatbots
HR and benefits teams often struggle to keep up with the high volume of benefits-related questions they receive from employees throughout the year, but especially during benefits open enrollment. Flimp's new AI chatbot reduces the time spent in meetings, Q&A sessions, responding to one-off emails, calls, and other tasks related to healthcare and benefits offerings and related HR policies. It contains a core set of baseline information like common terms and definitions, to which customized employer content can be added in the form of PDFs, web-based content and links to informational or policy documents.

"In developing our Employee Benefits AI Agent, we had two audiences in mind," said Wayne Wall, CEO of Flimp. "For employees and spouses, we set out to create a tool that would quickly deliver the benefits, answers and information most relevant to their personal needs. While, for employers, we focused on producing a very secure, reliable tool that's inexpensive and can easily integrate with existing educational benefits content like guides and websites. Fortunately, our product teams were able to develop a tool that meets these different objectives in time for the upcoming open enrollment season."

The Employee Benefits AI Agent can be completely customized for employers, including its name, colors and fonts, avatar, welcome message and more. It can also be easily embedded into your Flimp-produced benefits guide, website or microsite and accessed by links, QR codes or pop-up windows. The technology also syncs automatically with any updates made to your Flimp microsite content, ensuring responses stay current without manual effort.

Summary of key product features:
– Seamless integration: Embeddable in Flimp-produced microsites, benefits guides, and websites
– Quick fact-checking: Clear, easy-to-understand responses with links to source documents
– Secure and compliant: Closed-system chatbot trained only on approved content with legal disclaimers and built-in safeguards to avoid offering advice or speculative responses
– Smart escalation: Routes unanswered questions to designated HR contact, so nothing falls through the cracks

Additional features (coming soon):
– Feedback tool: Employees can rate the chatbot's answers with a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down to help it improve future responses.
– Real-time insights: Useful analytics highlight behavior tracking, usage trends, most-asked questions, and employee feedback, revealing potential knowledge gaps.
– Foreign-language support: Real-time responses in Spanish support diverse workforces with seamless communications.
