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.

New Study Identifies Profile of Future CFOs

By: via Business Wire

Billtrust-Commissioned Research Also Examines Differences Between Current CFOs and Future Finance Leaders

Billtrust (NASDAQ: BTRS), a B2B accounts receivable automation and integrated payments leader, has released new findings from a proprietary in-depth research study, commissioned by Billtrust and conducted by Paradoxes, Inc., defining the profile of CFO candidates who will ultimately step into leadership roles.

The research, which consists of interviews and sessions with over 500 current CFOs and those targeting CFO positions in their next roles, illustrates how the “traditional” CFO model is giving way to a new leader who is more comfortable with data, technology and cross-disciplinary collaboration in areas that have typically been considered out of the purview of finance, such as customer satisfaction.

“We find that the cohort of nearly 7.9 million CFO aspirants have a horizontal mindset and see data and technology as the key to innovation,” said Steve Reynolds, who led the research effort at Paradoxes, Inc. “Their instincts are to seek consensus and work in greater collaboration with other business units.”

The research is summarized in a new white paper, “The DNA of Future CFOs: Research Insights,” which includes the following key findings:

  • Future CFOs will require a deeper understanding of data: To be successful, 89% of respondents agree that future finance leaders will need to understand how data moves and is used across the firm, and 82% expect that a background should include some knowledge of data science and technology.
  • Rising CFOs are less confident that their organization’s infrastructure is modern: Only 33% of future CFOs, compared to 46% of current CFOs, report that their infrastructure is “very” modernized, meaning the majority of processes and systems are automated, integrated and digital.
  • CFOs become increasingly important CX players: When asked to identify the initiatives and weaknesses in their current financial and operational systems they are planning to address, nearly half (47%) of future CFOs chose “customer satisfaction,” trailing only behind “financial reporting/forecasting.”
  • Aspiring CFOs are more fluent and literate in technology: 61% of future CFOs cite “digitizing invoices” as an example of progress toward modernized digital infrastructure vs. just 38% of current CFOs. 70% of next generation CFOs believe that data and analytics are paramount to the future CFO role adding value to the enterprise and define “digital success” via technology projects that extend or integrate infrastructure with customers, vendors or partners.

“Clearly, a new generation of financial leaders are rethinking the roles that CFOs play in the enterprise,” said Steve Pinado, President, Billtrust. “As these digital-savvy professionals ascend into key leadership roles, they will be faced with challenges that look markedly different from the ones their predecessors faced. Fortunately, our research suggests that their understanding of data, teamwork and a commitment to the customer will position them to rise to the occasion and serve as a critical piece of their organizations’ overall success.”

About the Study

Billtrust commissioned research firm Paradoxes, Inc. to conduct an extensive qualitative and quantitative study between 2021 and 2022 to identify frequent financial challenges and essential characteristics of future CFOs. Interviews and sessions were conducted with over 500 current and aspiring CFOs or those in adjacent roles.
