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.

Windstream Enterprise Enhances the WE Connect Partners Portal to Reinvent the Partner Selling Experience

By: via Business Wire

Windstream Enterprise (WE), a leading managed communications service provider, today unveiled the next generation of its award-winning WE Connect Partners Portal, offering Windstream Enterprise’s channel partners a state-of-the-art digital platform with an enhanced set of tools to grow their pipeline, manage their base and earn additional partner incentives.

The Partners Portal provides a personalized single pane of glass environment, elevating the partner and customer relationship with a superior digital experience that, according to Windstream Enterprise partners who are actively using the platform, is already making a difference in their businesses.

Ashley Powell, managing partner at the Creekview Group, termed the WE Connect Partners Portal “by far the best portal of all the carriers we work with. It just makes everything so easy for us to manage.” The Partners Portal makes it easy to handle customers’ accounts with service configuration options that allow for proactive customer management with customizable reporting and rich data analytics.

Enhancements to the WE Connect Partners Portal include:

  • A new quote-to-cash feature that enables partners to not only create a real-time quote, but also automatically generate a contract that’s ready for the buyer’s signature — all directly within the portal. This helps partners save time, build proposals on the fly and speed up revenue generation to move deals through the pipeline faster.
  • Real-time access to critical base reporting and client account management information allows partners to support their base, open trouble tickets and locate Windstream Enterprise resources without hesitation.
  • New earning opportunities through customer renewals with visibility into in- and out-of-term accounts. Partners can take advantage of the pre-built renewal offers feature and send offers directly through the portal, making it easier for partners know exactly where their entire book of business stands while earning additional incentives in the process.
  • A single, easy-to-navigate dashboard-based environment to order services, build orders and analyze, view and manage customer accounts, network performance, reporting and more. The portal offers a 360-degree view that puts every aspect of the Windstream Enterprise-partner relationship at the partner’s fingertip.

The WE Connect Partners Portal embodies Windstream Enterprise’s WE Will Commitment to partners and customers. This set of service, support and cost guarantees underpins all Windstream Enterprise’s offerings, including SD-WAN, its managed network solution, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), its fully-integrated network security solution, OfficeSuite UC®, its unified communications as a service (UCaaS) offering and more.

The unveiling of the WE Connect Partners Portal serves as a reminder that not all partner programs are created equal. “With tools like the new quote-to-cash feature, we’re creating a richer selling experience and a winning environment for our channel partners, one they can’t get with just any digital communications provider,” said Michael Fiacco, chief revenue officer for Windstream Enterprise.

Windstream Enterprise partner, Aram Bolduc, regional vice president of sales at Intelisys, said the WE Connect Partners Portal stands out for providing convenient, seamless access to Windstream Enterprise’s full range of services and support resources. “It’s an all-encompassing, one-stop-shop for the partner community and the end customer,” Bolduc said.

“Our channel partners are the heart, soul and engine of our business,” said Rob Westervelt, senior vice president of Channels Sales at Windstream Enterprise. “We have completely re-imagined what a partner experience could and should be. This is about giving our partners the tools they need to thrive in a highly competitive market, and it’s also about making it easier for them — and by extension, their customers — to do business with us.”
