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.

ServicePower’s ClaimCenter Integration for Field Adjuster Schedule Optimization Now Available in Guidewire Marketplace

ServicePower’s accelerator for ClaimCenter enables insurers to deliver more timely, efficient field service and inspection management to policyholders throughout the claims lifecycle

ServicePower, a global field service management software company and Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution partner, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), the platform P&C insurers trust to engage, innovate, and grow efficiently, today announced that ServicePower’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerator is now available to ClaimCenter users in the Guidewire Marketplace.

According to a 2020 J.D. Power study, insurers experienced a reduction in claim volume during the pandemic, which allowed a “laser focus” on service that led to “shorter cycle times, better service delivery and, ultimately, a record high level of customer satisfaction.” Reflecting on these findings, Tom Super, head of property and casualty insurance intelligence at J.D. Power, noted that “efforts to improve claimant service delivery translate directly to improved business outcomes” for insurers. ServicePower’s ServiceP&C solution can help insurers maintain their claims handling efficiency even as claim volume rises post-pandemic.

ServiceP&C solution leverages artificial intelligence to optimize complex service schedules and routes for P&C insurers’ field adjusters. With optimized schedules, insurers can deliver quicker, more efficient service to their policyholders, which can enhance policyholder satisfaction and loyalty. The solution allows insurers to decide how much control adjusters have when setting schedules, which can lead to reduced cycle times and increased adjuster utilization. With more efficient adjusters, insurers can see reduced dependence on independent adjusters, reducing costs and increasing control. The ServicePower accelerator links ServiceP&C with ClaimCenter, streamlining the scheduling process for adjusters.

With ServicePower’s integration for ClaimCenter, insurer representatives can:

  • Efficiently request that ServicePower schedule an appropriate resource to handle a claim event;
  • Access service appointment status updates and reschedule or cancel existing service appointments; and
  • Ensure that the best suited adjuster with the most current information, at the lowest cost, is dispatched in the least amount of time.

“We are thrilled that adjusters can now utilize our technology seamlessly in Guidewire through our integration,” said Frank Gelbart, chief executive officer, ServicePower. “Efficiency is of the utmost importance for insurers, especially when it comes to claims handling. Our solution can help insurers increase productivity through effective management of adjusting resources. Connecting these capabilities and benefits with Guidewire can further boost efficiency for our shared customers, as they no longer have to go between two platforms.”

“We congratulate ServicePower on the release of its integration for schedule optimization,” said Neil Betteridge, vice president, Strategy, Guidewire Software. “When handled efficiently from First Notice of Loss, claims are settled faster, and claimants are able to get back to their lives sooner. With ServiceP&C integrated in ClaimCenter, our shared customers can reduce cycle time and increase policyholder satisfaction.”
