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.

BDO Enhances Global Communications, Collaboration, and Customer Engagement with 8x8 XCaaS™

Leading Public Accounting, Tax, and Advisory Firm Deploys 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams and 8x8 Contact Centre for Microsoft Teams to Support Company’s Almost 6,500 Employees in the UK

8x8, Inc. (NYSE: EGHT), a leading integrated cloud communications platform provider, today announced that BDO deployed 8x8 XCaaS™ (eXperience Communications as a Service™) with 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams to enhance communication, collaboration, and customer engagement for its almost 6,500 UK employees.

BDO, a global network providing tax, audit and assurance, and a range of business advisory services, needed a cloud communications solution capable of providing reliable high-quality global calling, regardless of where their staff was located, and to reduce escalating mobile phone bills. Further, BDO required a solution that would integrate with its existing Microsoft 365 suite of products to minimise IT administration and employee training costs, while still delivering a high level of service to customers.

With expert advice from IT consultant EveryCloud, BDO selected 8x8 XCaaS with 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams and 8x8 Contact Centre for Microsoft Teams, which is certified by Microsoft.

"Increasingly, the integrated cloud communications technology provided by 8x8 will help companies like ours better serve clients, and attract and retain employees to improve our competitive advantage.”

With 8x8 Contact Centre, BDO has improved customer service using analytics to identify coaching opportunities for agents, including real-time feedback during calls. In addition, BDO’s thousands of client-facing knowledge workers, including its contact desks for finance, human resources, and IT, are now able to place global calls easily within Teams, using 8x8 Contact Centre for Microsoft Teams.

“Hybrid and remote work has transformed the professional world, requiring enterprises to adapt and provide their employees with solutions that meet both business and personal requirements,” said Jamie Snaddon, Managing Director, EMEA at 8x8, Inc. “Our Customer first culture allows us to strengthen our partnership with BDO and provide the smooth, cost-effective support they need while also enabling them to continue operating within the familiar Microsoft Teams user interface their employees have come to know and expect.”
