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.

QuoteIQ Launches Game-Changing Employee Management Feature While Competitors Struggle With Costly Add-On Dependencies

QuoteIQ Launches Game-Changing Employee Management Feature While Competitors Struggle With Costly Add-On Dependencies
Cementing QuoteIQ as the #1 Jobber Alternative
Self-Funded Field Service Pioneer Delivers Five Major Updates Including Revolutionary Company Hub Feature That Outpaces VC-Backed Legacy Platforms

Savannah, GA - September 9, 2025 - QuoteIQ, the leading all-in-one field service management platform built by service professionals for service professionals, today announced five major feature updates that further cement its position as the smart alternative to expensive, integration-dependent competitors like Jobber. The latest release introduces groundbreaking multi-company management capabilities alongside enhanced customer analytics, streamlined workflows, and advanced estimate management tools.

"While our VC-backed competitors focus on satisfying board members and justifying their next funding round, we're laser-focused on solving real problems that guys in the field face every day," said Mike Vidan, Founder of QuoteIQ. "We didn't start as a tech company chasing valuations – we built successful service businesses from the ground up. Every feature in QuoteIQ exists because we needed it ourselves, not because it looks good on a pitch deck."

Revolutionary Multi-Company Management Eliminates Need for Multiple Logins

The centerpiece of this release is QuoteIQ's new Company Hub feature, allowing users to manage multiple service businesses under a single login. This addresses a critical gap in the market where service professionals running seasonal operations, multiple specialties, or family business ventures were forced to juggle separate platforms and subscriptions.

"I grew my pressure washing business from zero to over $2 million in less than two years using QuoteIQ, and now I'm expanding into holiday lighting services," said customer testimonial recipient who recently earned QuoteIQ's coveted six-figure achievement plaque. "With the new Company Hub, I can manage both businesses seamlessly – something that would cost me hundreds more per month with Jobber's fragmented approach."

Advanced Customer Intelligence Drives Revenue Growth

The updated contact management system now provides comprehensive customer analytics, including lifetime value tracking, conversion percentages, and revenue analytics. Unlike competitors that require expensive third-party integrations for basic customer insights, QuoteIQ delivers this intelligence natively within the platform.

Key new features include:

  • Multi-Company Hub: Manage unlimited businesses under one login with separate branding, services, and customer databases
  • Advanced Customer Analytics: Track lifetime value, conversion rates, and revenue metrics for each contact
  • Estimate Archive System: Organize and manage long-term prospects without cluttering active pipelines
  • Mass Estimate Management: Bulk edit, duplicate, and organize estimates with advanced sorting capabilities
  • Streamlined Navigation: Redesigned sidebar with organized tool categories for improved workflow efficiency

Cost Advantage Widens as Competitors Rely on Expensive Add-Ons

Recent market analysis confirms QuoteIQ maintains its position as up to 75% cheaper than Jobber with all equivalent features. While Jobber's true cost reaches $707–$777/month when you factor in necessary third-party tools like ResponsiBid and CompanyCam, QuoteIQ's Elite plan delivers superior functionality for just $188.99/month.

"The math is simple," added Vidan. "Jobber forces you to cobble together multiple subscriptions, manage separate logins, and train your team on different platforms just to match what we built natively. We're not just competing on price – we're delivering a fundamentally better experience because we understand the business from the inside out."

Built by Bootstrappers, Not Boardrooms

QuoteIQ's self-funded approach allows the company to prioritize feature development based on actual user feedback rather than investor demands. This philosophy has resulted in innovative tools like InstaQuote (customer self-quoting), InstaSchedule (customer self-scheduling), MapMeasure Pro (satellite property measurement), and Review Multiplier (automated review generation) – features that Jobber simply doesn't offer even at their highest pricing tiers.

The platform continues to gain traction among service professionals who value comprehensive functionality over brand recognition. With 100% of essential tools built-in with QuoteIQ — no expensive add-ons required, the platform eliminates the integration complexity and hidden costs that plague legacy competitors.

Employee Hub launched to Complete Service Management Ecosystem

QuoteIQ announced the launch of Employee Hub feature, currently in development, will include payroll management, employee tracking, and team communication tools – further expanding their all-in-one advantage over platforms that require multiple integrations for basic business management.

"We're building the complete service business operating system," Vidan noted. "While competitors fragment your workflow across multiple tools and vendors, we're creating one platform that handles everything from first quote to final payment and everything in between."

Recognition for Customer Success

QuoteIQ continues its tradition of honoring customer success with its Six and Seven Figure Plaque Program, celebrating contractors who have achieved multiple milestones through the platform. This recognition showcases real-world achievements and underscores how QuoteIQ empowers service businesses to scale and thrive
