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.

ISG Launches Digital Engineering Business to Meet Booming Demand for Data- and Software-Driven Business Models

New ISG Digital Engineering advisory business will help global enterprises digitize products and create connected customer experiences

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, today announced the launch of a digital engineering advisory business to meet booming enterprise demand in this critical area, which supports everything from initial product design to digital systems for continuous product and service evolution and enhanced customer experiences.

Data from the ISG Index™, which tracks global spending on technology and business services, show annual contract value (ACV) for engineering services grew more than 35 percent year over year in the first quarter of 2022. The total engineering services market is estimated to be worth $200 billion, although the market is still highly fragmented and mostly unadvised.

“Digital engineering is one of the hottest areas in the technology services and solutions market, as enterprises across industries turn to data- and software-driven approaches to support each stage of the product lifecycle,” said Gaurav Gupta, partner and head of ISG Digital Engineering. “This sea change in traditional engineering enables companies to update products online long after they’re sold, and to deliver actionable data and insights back to the manufacturer.”

Combining information technology and industrial machinery, enterprises are leveraging digital engineering to connect data, analytics and services with product design. This connection allows manufacturers to continually update and extend product functionality and create an ongoing customer relationship throughout the product lifecycle. Digital engineering also enables manufacturers to test the performance of physical assets before they are built. The data and analytics gathered from devices fuels and improves ongoing product development.

“The pandemic acted as a catalyst for digital engineering, pushing companies to bridge the gap between information technology and operational technology,” Gupta said. “In addition to accelerating changes in customer behavior and expectations for smart devices, the pandemic demonstrated that shop floors were not sufficiently resilient to withstand supply chain challenges. Manufacturers struggled to provide remote operations and data management.”

Gupta said enterprises are turning to remote teams, virtualization and cloud technology to extend the traditional engineering bench, which is leading to growing demand for augmented and virtual reality, IoT sensors, artificial intelligence and machine learning and solutions. These solutions connect traditionally siloed organizations and data in the areas of information technology (IT), operational technology (OT) and engineering technology (ET).

The new ISG Digital Engineering business will work with clients to assess the current state of their transformation initiatives; perform a strategic re-design of their target operating model; define a sourcing strategy, including the design of flexible and modular contracts, and govern their ecosystem to track success.

ISG already is working with a number of digital engineering clients, including a multimillion-dollar engagement to develop a “Connected Mall as a Service” platform that will support the retail digitization of 30 shopping malls in Asia.

More information about ISG Digital Engineering is available on the website.
