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.

Sommer began exploring a move two years ago. She narrowed her options to two branch firms and two independent firms and evaluated them extensively against her criteria: a firm with a client-focused culture, a positive reputation, an innovative technology platform, and the right balance of freedom and support to serve her clients well. After meeting Ameriprise branch manager Adam Lukens and connecting with many members of the firm’s executive leaders at a special event for prospective advisors in Minneapolis, she found Ameriprise to be the best fit.

“My decision came down to where I can best deliver advice to clients and Ameriprise was the clear choice,” said Sommer. “The firm’s values, notably their strong commitment to clients, is paramount. You can see it in the way Ameriprise continually invests in technology for clients and advisors, provides personalized support from leadership, and makes a wide suite of products available to take care of clients’ needs.”

Joining Ameriprise was best for Sommer and her unique client base

Sommer’s client base are primarily retirees, farmers, business owners and pre-retirees. She felt confident moving her practice to Ameriprise knowing that the firm’s culture and values matched that of her clients. Sommer is supported by client service associate Blythe Bittman, who has been with Ameriprise for 10 years and is adept at efficiently moving business, setting up client accounts according to their preferences, and serving clients with the utmost care.

Prior to joining Ameriprise, Sommer was apprehensive about moving firms because she takes her role in supporting clients’ financial goals very seriously. Once she found the right firm, she found the transition process to be manageable. Reflecting on her transition experience, Sommer said, “The transition has gone smoothly so far, and I am confident I made the decision that was in my clients’ best interest and my own. Several of my clients have seen the Ameriprise commercials detailing the firm’s accolades and have told me they’re proud to be here.”

Lukens said, “Ireen is the epitome of an advisor who is in a great position to excel at Ameriprise: a compassionate advisor who has longstanding relationships with clients and who wants to grow to help more families achieve financial success. As leaders, we’re here to partner with her and all of our advisors to support their ambitions for growth.”

Ameriprise has continued to attract experienced, productive advisors, with approximately 1,600 joining the firm in the last 5 years.1 To find out why experienced financial advisors are joining Ameriprise, visit ameriprise.com/why.
