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 Providers of SAP Transformation

By: via Business Wire

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will evaluate service providers that can help enterprises move to S/4HANA and can offer SAP-related managed services

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining how enterprises are working with service providers to move their SAP environments to S/4HANA.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called SAP Ecosystem, scheduled to be released in May 2023. The report will cover companies offering a range of services related to transitioning SAP workloads and maintaining them on the S/4HANA software suite. The study also evaluates providers of managed application services and managed platform and cloud services for SAP ERP.

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.

The study notes that thousands of SAP environments are awaiting transition to S/4HANA as SAP moves to end support for some of its older ERP software at the end of 2027. The study focuses on helping enterprises determine the right partners to help them complete a brownfield S/4HANA transition.

“SAP S/4HANA transformation projects require detailed planning and extensive business participation,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Clients need to find the right partner that delivers high business value with low costs.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 105 providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the typical SAP transformation services enterprises are buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

  • SAP S/4HANA System Transformation – Large Accounts, assessing consulting and system integration service providers that are developing, deploying and testing enterprise applications using SAP S/4HANA. This quadrant covers large enterprises, which need providers that have the ability to manage the complexity related to large SAP transformation projects. Providers must be able to operate multiple SAP instances and comply with strict client requirements.
  • SAP S/4HANA System Transformation – Midmarket, covering providers offering similar SAP transformation services to mid-sized enterprises. Providers should be able to deploy SAP solutions using multiple methodologies, including packaged solutions aimed at small and mid-sized businesses. They should use industry-specific templates to reduce the transformation cycle.
  • Managed Application Services for SAP ERP, assessing providers’ ability to offer managed services, including enhancements, maintenance and support functions. Providers should be able to monitor applications, offer remote support and centrally manage applications for S/4HANA and legacy SAP business suites.
  • Managed Platform and Cloud Services for SAP, evaluating providers that manage hybrid cloud environments, offer security access services, monitor infrastructure, ensure system availability and offer disaster recovery, and data backup and restoration. Providers should be capable of resolving and eliminating clients’ initial technical barriers and resistance to moving enterprise resource planning to the cloud.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global SAP market and examine products and services available in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Brazil and the Nordics. ISG analysts Akhila Harinarayan, Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio, Peter Höroldt, Tarun Vaid, Maharshi Pandya, Vartika Rai, Gabriel Sobanski, Anusha R and Kiran B will serve as authors of the report.

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

All 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature 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.
