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.

Echelon Insurance Deploys Guidewire InsuranceSuite to Transform Core Operations

Leading Canadian specialty insurer leveraging Guidewire InsuranceSuite to increase business agility and deliver more value to brokers, partners, and policyholders

Echelon Insurance (Echelon), a leading Canadian Specialty insurer, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Echelon has successfully deployed InsuranceSuite and DataHub as its new underwriting, policy administration, claims, billing, and enterprise-wide data management solution. Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting members Cognizant and Infosys supported the implementation project.

Echelon deployed the Guidewire products to its Personal Auto and IRCA (Individually Rated Commercial Auto) lines of business in the province of Ontario and is in the early stages of expanding to those lines of business across Canada. Future rollouts will focus on the company’s other Specialty commercial lines of business.

“As a leading Specialty insurer, it’s important that we’re able to use our data to make better decisions. With InsuranceSuite, we can now leverage more of our data to inform our product and pricing models,” said Robin Joshua, President of Echelon. “The system also offers a holistic, intuitive claims management environment with fewer manual administrative tasks so our claims adjusters can stay focused on serving our customers and spending more time on high value-added adjusting tasks that positively impact indemnity and expense spend.”

Chief Innovation Officer for Echelon, Apra Sekhon added, “By adopting agile scrum methodology to implement InsuranceSuite, we were able to complete the project on time and on budget. Our teams have adapted well to using the system, enjoying the reduced training times and efficiencies it has brought to our business processes.”

“We congratulate Echelon on its successful InsuranceSuite deployment,” said Mike Polelle, Chief Delivery Officer, Guidewire. “We are honored to be providing the technology foundation to enable Echelon to continue its mission of providing personal and commercial insurance solutions to protect Canadian families and businesses.”

Echelon also deployed SmartCOMM™ from Smart Communications for customer communications management. Guidewire is a reseller of SmartCOMM for Smart Communications, a Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution member.
