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.

Acuity Knowledge Partners Adds 2,000 Employees to Near Double in Size as It Exceeds 2021 Growth Projections

Today, Acuity Knowledge Partners (Acuity), a leading provider of bespoke research, analytics and technology solutions to the financial services sector, reveals the rapid growth that the firm experienced in 2021, across its global business. Acuity now supports over 400 banking, asset management, commercial banks and consulting firms. In 2021, the firm saw a substantial increase in new sales and over 100 new institutions were added to its client roster. Additionally, Acuity now employs over 4,200 staff globally, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Sri Lanka, China and Costa Rica.

“We had high hopes for what Acuity could achieve in 2021 and we are thrilled to say that we outperformed our initial 2021 goals and have set ourselves up for greater success this year,” said Robert King, Chief Executive Officer, Acuity Knowledge Partners. “We see a fundamental reshaping and acceleration of changing working practices and staffing solutions in the global financial services industry. This comes, in part, from the industry having proved that it can operate in a hybrid working environment. Despite many challenges we stayed focused on how to best serve our global client base, including through the evolution of our technological capabilities, as well as the growth of our analyst headcount. We start 2022 the strongest we have ever been.”

Acuity’s technology platform BEAT – Business Excellence & Automations Tools - was a key area of focus for Acuity in 2021. BEAT-enabled service solutions use a combination of automation technologies and skilled analysts to improve turnaround times without compromising on quality and accuracy. The BEAT initiative launched in 2017 reached a significant milestone last year by having over 100 Acuity customers use the bespoke digital applications and tools. Additionally, BEATFlow, a proprietary workflow management tool, now has over 8,000 users across 43 customers and BEAT Edge, a Consultant Database (CDB) solution is deployed to over 40 clients.

Last year saw Acuity recognized for some of its outstanding work for clients and the corporate culture it has built. In February 2021 the BEAT Edge solution received the Best New Product Award in the back/middle office category at the Fund Intelligence Operations & Services Awards. Later, in July 2021, Acuity was named Best Outsourcing Service Provider by WatersTechnology in its annual Waters Rankings, which reflect how financial technology professionals view vendors, consultancies and service providers. At the end of 2021 Acuity was also certified in India by the global authority on workplace culture, Great Place to Work. Acuity is focused on employee health and well-being and as the pandemic continues to evolve it remains committed to making the right decisions for both employees and clients.

“The human and business impact of the pandemic have been felt by all. In this environment the financial services industry’s demand for agile, high-value Knowledge Process Outsourcing has increased exponentially,” said Damian Burleigh, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer at Acuity. “We are seeing the highest client retention numbers in our history, as we focus on investing in technology, people and processes. In 2022, we will continue to introduce new services and capabilities, such as we did in the retail lending space last year, and we plan to expand our geographic footprint even further with new offices.”
