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.

Definity Becomes the First Canadian P&C Insurer to Transition Core Insurance Platform to Guidewire Cloud

By: via Business Wire

New Cloud Solution Allows Agility, Scale, and Innovation While Enhancing Security

Definity Financial Corporation (“Definity”) (TSX: DFY) and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Definity has successfully transitioned the Economical digital broker offering, Vyne, and its digital direct platform, Sonnet, to the latest cloud-based technologies. As the first Canadian P&C insurer to have its core insurance platform take advantage of Guidewire Cloud Platform capabilities, Definity expects to be better positioned to continue to scale its business, enhance the quality of service to broker partners and customers, and continue to innovate with agility.

As a newly public company, resulting from the largest Canadian IPO of 2021, Definity aspires to stay on the forefront of business innovation by working with like-minded organizations to find new ways of making insurance better. The transition to cloud-based services is expected to give Definity early access to products, features, capabilities, and broader connectivity with insurtech ecosystems with minimal interruption to brokers and customers.

“At Definity, we are focused on being Canada’s leading digital insurer poised for sustainable growth and profitability,” said Tatjana Lalkovic, SVP and CIO, Definity. “Modernizing our core infrastructure brings opportunity for agility, scale, and innovation alongside Guidewire’s partner ecosystem.”

This is a milestone in the collaboration between Definity, Guidewire, and Deloitte in the Definity cloud transformation journey. Running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud technology, Guidewire Cloud will give Definity the ability to efficiently scale the platform to integrate innovative technologies as it pursues its business objectives of organic and inorganic growth. Cloud solutions are expected to enhance security and reduce planned and unplanned outages while addressing accelerating cyber security risks.

Definity has a strategic objective to be one of the top five P&C insurance providers in Canada and has been investing in innovative technologies to achieve this objective. Building on its industry-leading investments in Sonnet and Vyne, the multi-cloud architecture foundation being put in place will help support the resiliency and scalability that will be required to pursue growth in agile, innovative, and cost-effective ways. Sonnet and Vyne were both recognized as Guidewire Innovation Award winners in 2016 and 2018, respectively.

“Definity is a leading force in the Canadian P&C insurance industry ― Guidewire truly admires the company’s industry vision and its commitment to innovation, and ultimately its mission of creating exceptional value for its brokers, partners, policyholders, employees, and shareholders,” said Christina Colby, Chief Customer Officer, Guidewire. “We thank Definity for its continued trust in Guidewire and our cloud services capabilities and look forward to our ongoing collaboration and shared success.”
