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.

The platform evaluates candidates’ personalities, values, and work styles—going beyond financial criteria—to connect them with the most compatible franchise opportunities. This move aims to boost franchisee success rates and reflects BFTO’s commitment to innovative, personalized guidance for aspiring business owners across North America.

This partnership comes at a time when both the Canadian and U.S. franchise industries are embracing the power of data and advanced profiling techniques to streamline decision-making and increase the success rate of new franchisees.With Zorakle’s advanced profiling system, BFTO will now provide a more personalized and scientifically grounded approach to pairing franchise candidates with the most suitable opportunities, going beyond financial qualifications to assess emotional and personality compatibility. This marks a significant departure from traditional methods of matching franchisees with brands.

Revolutionizing Franchisee Selection with Data-Driven Insights

As the demand for data-driven decision-making continues to grow, BFTO is positioning itself at the forefront of innovation in the franchise industry in both Canada and the United States.Across North America, businesses are increasingly relying on data to guide their operations,and BFTO is no exception. According to a report from Industry and Business Canada and similar trends in the U.S., companies that use data-driven strategies experience higher operational efficiency and increased revenue by up to 30%. This trend is revolutionizing how businesses—especially franchises—make critical decisions, and BFTO is integrating Zorakle to ensure its clients benefit from these advancements.

"Zorakle’s psychometric profiling allows us to take a more holistic approach to franchisee matchmaking," said Tony Brooks, CAFC, Owner of Best Franchises to Own. "We believe that traditional methods of evaluating franchise candidates based solely on financials don’t tell the full story. Zorakle ensures we match candidates with the brands that align with their strengths,values, and goals, ensuring long-term success."

Industry Innovation: A Step Toward Greater Franchisee Success

In response to growing concerns about high franchise failure rates, BFTO has adopted Zorakle to help increase the long-term success of new franchisees. Zorakle’s system uses psychometric assessments to evaluate key traits like decision-making, risk tolerance, and personal values,ensuring that new franchisees are well-aligned with their chosen business.This integration aligns with the broader trend of placing an increased focus on franchisee success and longevity. Budget Blinds, a franchise industry leader, found that 92% of franchises are still in business after two years, with 85% surviving five years. However, these statistics underscore the need for smarter, data-backed decisions to ensure the long-term viability of franchise partnerships.By incorporating Zorakle, BFTO aims to lower the likelihood of franchise failure and ensure that every candidate receives personalized guidance throughout their franchise journey.

Embracing Psychometric Profiling in Franchise Recruitment

As part of the growing trend of using advanced profiling in recruitment, Zorakle utilizes psychometric tests to match candidates with the best-fitting franchise brands. These tests provide a deeper understanding of a candidate's personality, work style, and values, offering a more personalized match than traditional financial qualifications.

"We’ve seen an explosion of interest in data-driven approaches to recruitment, and Zorakle is the perfect tool to help us lead the way," said Tony Brooks, CAFC. "Franchise candidates are not just looking for financial investments anymore—they want to ensure the business they invest in aligns with their personal strengths and professional aspirations."

Consumers and franchisees alike are expecting customized experiences in all aspects of life, including business opportunities.
