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.

Snappy Kraken Launches Financial Adviser Text Messaging Marketing Platform – Convos

By: via Business Wire

Text has a much higher engagement and open rate than other mediums, which will help financial advisers to maintain closer contact with clients

Snappy Kraken, a MarTech leader geared toward financial services professionals, announced today it has launched Convos, creating an opportunity for advisers to exchange timely and compliant text messages with their clients to help engender stronger relationships.

As an innovative financial services marketing leader, Snappy Kraken has data that shows text messages have a six times higher open rate – 98 percent – than emails and are typically opened within six minutes. To harness this, Snappy Kraken created Convos, which puts instantaneous communications at an adviser’s fingertips through a desktop app with an intuitive dashboard that is as easy to use as iMessage. Convos also integrates into the major customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, including Salesforce, WealthBox, and Redtail Technology.

“People want to deepen existing relationships and communicate in real-time, so our Convos app allows for that personalization, and for people to receive their messaging on the device that is practically glued to their hand,” said Robert Sofia, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We all know from personal experience that when we get a text message our eyes immediately veer to our cell phone. Snappy Kraken’s Convos tool takes advantage of this powerful opportunity to connect with, engage and retain clients.”

Advisers can send messages from either their existing office phone number or create a new phone number; these messages are then sent either to a specific client or broadcast a message out to a larger group. Messages are Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) reviewed in advance to ensure compliance. Additionally, for broker-dealer partners, Convos integrates with MyRepChat to make compliance easier.

Snappy Kraken creates new and engaging text messaging marketing content each month to keep conversations fresh.

The “Leads Never Cold” feature automatically keeps your conversations going with a client to help drive engagement and retention. Pre-generated content including everything from general conversation starters to specific financial-related information is available for advisers through this feature.

Financial advisers can set up appointments via text message. There is also a widget that can be placed on advisers’ websites to direct clients to Convos.

“Snappy Kraken is democratizing access to conversational texting and helping advisers meet their clients where they are, which is key,” said Greg Drozdow, Director of Business Development – Conversations. “The entire industry has been trying to solve this challenge: how to make sure that all of their marketing efforts – their website, branding, social media and campaigns – all speak to their clients. The missing link was landing in the literal hands of prospects and clients alike. Snappy Kraken has created that solution.”

Pricing for Convos starts at $19 a month with an additional 10 cents per outbound message; received messages are free. Convos is available in beta form to select registered investment advisers and broker-dealers at present with the goal of continued expansion throughout the industry beginning in the fourth quarter.
