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 to Publish Report on Insurance BPO, ITO Services

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will evaluate providers of services that help insurance organizations improve, optimize and grow their business through technology

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers of services that are enabling a growing number of insurance organizations to modernize their operations for better business outcomes.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Insurance Services 2022 — BPO and ITO, scheduled to be released in November. The report will cover companies offering services including business process outsourcing (BPO), information technology outsourcing (ITO), business-process-as-a-service (BPaaS) and third-party administration (TPA).

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

Many insurance organizations are adopting advanced technologies to modernize services, improve customer experience and grow in a cost-effective way. They are implementing technologies including intelligent automation, straight-through processing (STP), AI and machine learning, often migrating from legacy systems to cloud platforms to enable digital transformation.

“More insurance companies are now working with outsourcing and technology providers to enhance their capabilities,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Many are forming long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with providers to become more competitive.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 60 insurance services providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the digital services and products the typical insurance enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

  • Life & Retirement Insurance BPO Services, evaluating outsourcing services such as consulting, technology enablement, policy administration and managed services for providers of insurance types such as life insurance, annuities and supplemental benefits.
  • Property & Casualty Insurance BPO Services, assessing outsourcing services for insurance coverage areas including auto, theft, property and natural catastrophe.
  • BPaaS and TPA Insurance Services, evaluating providers of BPO and ITO services bundled into a comprehensive service, typically through a licensed provider or third-party administrator.
  • Insurance ITO Services, covering both traditional and more modern IT services, including technology support and business transformation programs to improve profitability, optimize costs and enhance customer experience.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global insurance services market and examine products and services available in the U.S., Australia, and U.K. and Europe. ISG analysts Ashish Jhajharia, Angus Macaskill, Jocelyn Cheung and Sandhya Hari Navage will serve as authors of the report.

An archetype report will also be published as part of this study. This report, unique to ISG, is the study of typical buyer types of contact center services as observed by ISG advisors.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as insurance services providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations now feature new and expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged to register here to receive a personalized survey URL. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.
