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.

Vizient Adds More Than 900 Facilities to its Health Care Performance Improvement Analytics Portfolio

Vizient, Inc., the nation’s largest member-driven health care performance improvement company, today announces it has completed the transition of clients from three of IBM Watson Health’s performance improvement solutions into Vizient’s market-leading analytics portfolio for performance benchmarking and strategic planning. Through these transitions, Vizient has added more than 900 new facilities to its analytics platform over the last year.

Most notably as part of this transition, the migration of IBM ActionOI clients to the Vizient Operational Data Base (ODB) introduces new comparison groups for enhanced, transparent benchmarking. These new comparison groups, which align with the industry’s quality and accountability measures, can be used to direct performance improvement efforts. Vizient is launching the new ODB solution today to all facilities.

“We are excited to launch the new Vizient Operational Data Base to our member hospitals and other subscribing facilities. Vizient’s focus on aggregating data to create meaningful insights that lead to performance improvement for our members is core to our strategy,” said Bharat Sundaram, president and chief operating officer for Vizient. “These additions to our analytics portfolio, and the peer networking opportunities that come with them, will further strengthen our member-driven methodologies to more closely link quality and operational performance.”

In addition to the IBM ActionOI migration, Vizient transitioned clients from IBM CareDiscovery® Advance and IBM CareDiscovery® Transform to the Vizient Clinical Data Base solution, which is focused on quality and financial performance, and transitioned clients from IBM Market Expert® to Sg2 MarketEdge, which offers insights for strategic planning. Combined with the new Vizient ODB, this analytics portfolio offers an unmatched set of solutions for benchmarking insights and peer networking that will benefit organizations of all sizes and types.
