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.

Rapid Transformation of Finance Boosts Outsourcing

By: via Business Wire

More enterprises are turning to service providers for finance and accounting functions as CFOs take on more strategic business roles, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Enterprises are seeking more third-party services and technology transformations in finance and accounting as those functions rapidly change in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and other disruptions, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ global Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) Services report finds that CFOs in many organizations are now setting strategic direction and leading business transformation initiatives as companies recognize the importance of finance in improving customer experience for competitive advantage.

“Financial data and processes have become tightly integrated with sales, marketing and procurement,” said Scott Furlong, partner, global business services, with ISG. “With the ubiquitous adoption of emerging technologies such as blockchain, IoT, intelligent automation and advance analytics, the lines between front, middle and back office are increasingly blurred.”

Furlong said companies that need to transform their business processes on a deadline are outsourcing many functions to partners that can provide “scarce and essential skills.”

ISG finds the role of outsourcers is expanding as many enterprises transform higher-level finance-related functions. Companies that have already outsourced core transactional processes, such as order to cash (O2C) and procure to pay (P2P), are now partnering with service providers on judgment-led processes such as budgeting, forecasting and risk management. Providers offer high-level professional talent for analysis of fast-changing business and economic conditions that drive this level of decision-making.

As companies seek to optimize their operations through digital transformation and cloud-based solutions, they are also outsourcing expertise in areas including predictive analytics, automation, AI, machine learning and blockchain, the report says. In addition, many enterprises are turning to providers for effective environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting.

Organizations seeking FAO services increasingly demand ready-made solutions, crafted for specific industries, that can be deployed with little customization, ISG says. Clients also expect shorter cycles to complete RFP responses, solution designs and delivery. A growing number of companies now favor outcome-based provider engagements judged by tangible business results rather than fixed costs such as number of full-time employees.

“FAO outsourcing customers are now looking for partners with deep domain expertise that will commit to sharing the risks and rewards of transformation,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research.

The report also explores other trends in FAO outsourcing, including the growing number of provider partnerships with technology specialists and ongoing provider initiatives to reskill employees to meet evolving client needs.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ global Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) Services report evaluates the capabilities of 27 providers across four quadrants: Procure to Pay (P2P), Order-to-Cash (O2C), Record-to-Report (R2R) and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A).

The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, EXL, Genpact, HCL, IBM, Infosys, TCS, Wipro and WNS as Leaders in all four quadrants.

In addition, Conduent is named as a Rising Star — a company with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in two quadrants. Arvato and OneSource Virtual are named as Rising Stars in one quadrant each.

Customized versions of the report are available from Capgemini, EXL, Infosys and WNS.
