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.

ISG to Publish Study on the Evolving Enterprise Service Management Market

ISG Provider Lens™ report will evaluate providers of ESM software, consulting and implementation services

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining the highly competitive and evolving market of providers offering enterprise service management support.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Enterprise Service Management – Services & Solutions, scheduled to be released in March. The report will cover a range of ESM products and services, including ESM consulting and software.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

The new report focuses on the ever-changing enterprise ESM landscape, said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “ESM buyers can find it challenging to identify the best-fit solution for enterprise-wide services,” he said. “Business leaders need to make these decisions using quantitative and qualitative methods. Our report will provide enterprises with the information required to select the right ESM managed service providers, software and partners.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 175 enterprise service management providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the services and products the typical enterprise client is buying in the enterprise service management space, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

  • ESM Consulting Services, evaluating providers that help customers transform their enterprise services landscape. These providers assist enterprises in understanding the changing market and guide them in designing the right business, service and technology models. They also enable enterprises to reach a future state by recommending tools and solutions to build a sustainable and resilient business. ESM consulting services bridge the gap between IT and other areas of the business to build a seamless collaboration between IT Service Management (ITSM) and ESM.
  • ESM Managed Services for Converged IT & Business Ops, assessing the capability of providers to offer managed services for the maintenance and support of systems for centralized service management. The enterprise converged IT services portfolio enables direct control and monitoring of complex systems, workflows and services. These include infrastructure, applications monitoring and performance. Additionally, this study will review providers of business process support and operations capabilities built around specific business verticals: data quality management, data security and compliance.
  • ESM Implementation and Integration Services, analyzing specialized providers with software implementation and integration capabilities for the enterprise landscape. Providers must possess deep knowledge of technical and project management practices for planning, designing, developing and delivering standard software solutions for enterprise portfolios, covering business, service lines and IT systems. Implementation concentrates on installation, configuration and operationalizing the tools and platforms for IT and business functions.
  • ESM Software Providers, assessing providers that offer software and deliver capabilities to manage services across the enterprise. These tools drive workflows and work management activities across functions, while catering to specific needs. Providers build on-premises and cloud solutions for specific groups, covering technology, service line, organizational support and business process systems. The study will cover the functionalities and customization capabilities to deliver customer-, business- and organization-specific solutions.

The report will cover the U.S. enterprise service management market. ISG analyst Ashwin Gaidhani will serve as author of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as enterprise service management providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.
