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.

MONETA Wins Celent Model Bank 2022 Award for Card Modernisation Initiative with Fiserv

Shift to an outsourced SaaS approach anticipated to reduce operational costs by 30% while furthering bank’s digital transformation strategy

MONETA Money Bank, one of the largest banks in the Czech Republic, has won a Celent Model Bank 2022 Retail Payments Transformation award for its card modernisation initiative. The strategically planned and precisely executed initiative, undertaken with Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, will enable the bank to cut operating costs by 30% within five years and further its digital transformation.

Celent, a global research and advisory firm for the financial services industry, annually recognizes financial institutions as model banks for their outstanding technology initiatives. Nominations are submitted by financial institutions and undergo a rigorous evaluation process by Celent analysts. Celent judges submissions on three core criteria: demonstrable business benefits of live initiatives, the degree of innovation relative to the industry, and the technology or implementation excellence.

MONETA serves 1.4 million clients through various digital channels and more than 150 branches and is positioning itself as the leading digital bank in the Czech Republic. The bank sought to replace its complex credit and debit card management system to reduce costs, lower operational risk and innovate faster. To do so, the bank implemented FirstVision from Fiserv via an outsourced software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. The process required detailed planning and included the complex task of migrating nearly a million accounts to a new platform without any service interruption.

“We previously managed our debit and credit cards through a highly customized in-house system, which was challenging to maintain,” said Jiri Mizera, Chief Information Officer of MONETA Group. “Implementing FirstVision eliminated previous challenges and contributed significantly to our digital transformation by putting in place a set of modern card capabilities to enable us to better serve our customers.”

The SaaS approach enabled by FirstVision allows the bank to focus on growing its business and propelling its digital strategy, with Fiserv managing the technology and day-to-day operations such as product development.

The Fiserv solution also provided MONETA with a fully integrated suite of card management tools, including digital cards and loyalty management, advanced fraud modules, risk management, and analytics. The bank is able to provide a state-of-the-art user experience including digital and near-real-time customer interaction capabilities, such as onboarding, instant issuing and spend, and day-today customer servicing.

“MONETA and Fiserv have a longstanding relationship, and we are proud that we were able to work together on the implementation of modern card capabilities that will enable the bank to streamline operations and innovate more quickly,” said Keith Rowling, senior vice president and general manager of EMEA at Fiserv. “The bank trusted Fiserv to help them achieve their strategic vision for card modernisation, and their recognition as a Celent Model Bank is a testament to the success of our collaboration.”

“While retail payments initiatives are often focused on customer-facing innovation, the fact is that impressive customer experiences could not exist without modern card management and transaction processing capabilities,” said Zilvinas Bareisis, Head of Retail Banking at Celent. “It is refreshing to learn about a cards back-office modernisation initiative, especially one that was as well executed as the MONETA migration to the FirstVision platform from Fiserv, and we found this project a deserving winner of the Celent Model Bank 2022 award for Retail Payments Transformation.”
