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 Earthquake Commission of New Zealand Subscribes to Guidewire Cloud to Simplify Claims IT Operations

Government-owned insurer to leverage Guidewire Cloud for scalability and business continuity

Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE) today announced that the Earthquake Commission of New Zealand (EQC), a Crown Entity responsible for providing residential natural disaster coverage throughout New Zealand, has subscribed to Guidewire ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud to power its claims management system and simplify its IT operations. The company plans to simultaneously implement ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud across all of its personal lines of business.

“The government has directed us to maintain our in-house claims capability as contingency support of our Insurer Relationship Model, so scalability was a very important consideration for us,” said Robyn Hilbourne, Product Manager – Claims Management Systems (CMS), Performance and Reporting, EQC. “We have been using ClaimCenter since 2008 and are very familiar with its capabilities. From a business continuity perspective, continuing to utilize that system and the investments we’ve made in it over the past 13 years was quite important as well. Leveraging ClaimCenter on Guidewire Cloud will help us reduce cost and enable us to always stay current with the latest functionality and features.”

“We welcome the Earthquake Commission to the Guidewire Cloud,” said Roland Slee, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Guidewire Software. “We appreciate this vote of confidence in our cloud service and look forward to playing an expanded role in enabling EQC’s mission of reducing the impact on people and property when natural disasters occur.”

About the Earthquake Commission of New Zealand

The Earthquake Commission (EQC) is a New Zealand Government Crown entity with functions set out under Section 5 of the Earthquake Commission Act 1993 (the Act). EQC carries out the following functions:

  • Provision of natural disaster insurance for residential property (dwellings and land);
  • Administration of the Natural Disaster Fund (NDF), including its investments and reinsurance; and
  • Fund research and education on natural disasters, and ways of reducing their impact.

These three core functions are essential for New Zealand to effectively manage natural disaster risk.

Originally established by the New Zealand Government in 1945 as the Earthquake and War Damage Commission, EQC has been operating continuously since that time and today provides coverage for specified insured residential property in New Zealand for several natural perils, principally including earthquake, landslide, tsunami, and volcanic eruption. Further information is contained on the EQC web site (EQC.govt.nz).
