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.

As business owners contemplate the significant decision of exiting or selling their companies, expert guidance becomes paramount to ensure a smooth transition and safeguard future success. Recognizing this critical need, Mike Morales, a leading consultancy firm specializing in business transitions, offers invaluable insights on essential pre- and post-exit strategies for business owners.

Pre-Exit Strategies

  1. Thorough Financial Assessment: Before considering a sale, business owners must conduct a comprehensive financial review. This includes evaluating current financial statements, understanding the company’s valuation, and identifying areas that could enhance value. Engaging with financial advisors early can provide a clear picture of fiscal health and profitability.
  2. Streamline Operations: Potential buyers are attracted to well-organized, efficient operations. Business owners should focus on streamlining processes, reducing overhead costs, and optimizing supply chains. Implementing robust systems and procedures can make the business more appealing and increase its market value.
  3. Succession Planning: An often-overlooked aspect of pre-exit planning is succession. Identifying and grooming potential successors within the organization ensures continuity and reassures buyers of the business’s sustainability post-sale. Clear succession plans can significantly impact the perceived stability and attractiveness of the business.
  4. Legal and Compliance Check: Ensuring that all legal and regulatory requirements are met is vital. This involves reviewing contracts, intellectual property rights, employee agreements, and compliance with industry regulations. Addressing any legal issues beforehand mitigates risks and adds credibility during negotiations.

Post-Exit Strategies

  1. Personal Financial Planning: Post-sale, business owners must shift focus to personal financial planning. Consulting with wealth managers or financial planners can help manage the proceeds from the sale, ensuring long-term financial security and aligning investments with personal goals.
  2. Emotional Transition: Exiting a business can be an emotional process. Owners should prepare for this transition by seeking peer, mentor, or professional coach support. Understanding and acknowledging the emotional impact can facilitate a healthier adjustment.
  3. Exploring New Opportunities: The end of one venture often marks the beginning of another. Business owners should explore new opportunities, whether it involves starting a new business, engaging in philanthropic activities, or taking up advisory roles. Leveraging their expertise can lead to fulfilling post-exit endeavors.
  4. Maintaining Industry Connections: Staying connected with industry networks is beneficial. Continuing to attend industry events, joining relevant associations, and maintaining relationships with former colleagues and clients can open doors to new opportunities and keep former business owners engaged in their field.

The interview emphasizes, that the journey of exiting or selling a business is multifaceted and requires meticulous planning and execution. By implementing these strategies, business owners can navigate the complexities of exit transitions effectively and position themselves for continued success.

Mike Ross shares: Most business owners only sell their business once.  They have no practice and are relying in many cases on total strangers.  They need some perspective from experts on how to put the deal together.”
