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.

GroupAssur Selects Guidewire to Increase Business Agility

Guidewire PartnerConnect Global Premier partner EY to provide implementation, ongoing services, and support

GroupAssur and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that GroupAssur has selected Guidewire to boost operational efficiencies and deliver an enhanced experience to brokers. Guidewire will be implemented across all of GroupAssur’s commercial lines of business at the same time.

GroupAssur selected Guidewire for policy administration, underwriting, client data, rating, reinsurance, claims, billing, and enterprise-wide data management and analytics, as well as to offer a seamless, omnichannel digital experience to its brokers, policyholders, and vendors.

“The managing general agent (MGA) market is quite unique, and we found that solutions built for brokers did not meet all of our needs as we’ve grown and evolved, especially regarding data analysis and scalability,” said Jean-Francois Raymond, president, GroupAssur. “We selected Guidewire as its benefits for us are tremendous and allows us to mimic the relationship that brokers have with insurance companies in the MGA space.”

“We welcome GroupAssur to the Guidewire customer family,” said Ken Shapiro, group vice president, Americas Sales, Guidewire. “We look forward to helping the company leverage Guidewire and a flexible partner deployment model to continue its mission of providing comprehensive, innovative, and efficient insurance solutions to its network of Canadian brokers.”

The company will be accessing Guidewire in a private cloud through EY Nexus™ for Insurance. Neil Pengelly, insurance technology advisory leader, EY Canada, said, “MGAs face unique challenges that can make finding the best-fitting solution difficult for them. EY’s cloud-based and managed service solution — built around Guidewire, with capabilities for the Canadian MGA market — allows MGAs to achieve successful implementation and then operate efficiently within the cloud while integrating with major broker management and carrier systems. We’re thrilled to be working with GroupAssur to transform their business and IT capabilities with Guidewire.”
