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.

Javelin Strategy & Research Announces Small-Business Digital Account Opening Award Winners

Backbase wins Best in Class. NCR Terafina and FIS recognized as Overall Leaders

Javelin Strategy & Research announced the winners of its 2021 Small-Business Digital Account Opening Scorecard. The in-depth report assesses vendors that address the complex, multifaceted challenge of opening small business checking accounts, from the perspective of both applicants and bankers.

Six vendors were evaluated on three essential categories for success in digital account opening:

  • Customer Journey, a quantitative evaluation of the applicant-facing flow, using a 108-point scorecard, from pre-application and product selection
  • Administrative Tools, a qualitative evaluation of the banker-facing platform, application management, portfolio analysis and insight, and process testing and improvement
  • User Experience, an assessment of innovative approaches that optimize efficiency and speed, reduce friction and abandonment, and build long-term customer engagement

Backbase earned “Best in Class” honors and ranked highest in Javelin’s 108-point customer journey assessment. Backbase’s Digital Sales solution for SMEs shines due to the breadth of its account and product offerings, comprehensive digital capabilities and back-office tools. NCR Terafina and FIS are also recognized as Overall Leaders for their high ranks in Javelin’s scorecard.

In addition to identifying and evaluating the top features of digital account opening technologies, Javelin’s scorecard report lays out a detailed set of best practices for building an efficient and engaging account-opening process for business banking. Other digital banking vendors evaluated in the report include Bottomline Technologies, Finastra and nCino.

“Only half of the top 24 U.S. banks offer digital account opening for small businesses, but it should be table stakes,” said Ian Benton, Senior Analyst of Digital Banking. “Banks that force business owners to call a banker or visit a branch not only will fall behind competitors but also popular fintechs that are poaching customers from banks.”
