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.

Supercharge Operational Efficiency with SMA Technologies’ New Guidewire Marketplace Accelerator

Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) and SMA Technologies (SMA) announced that SMA’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerator, compatible with Guidewire Cloud, is now live in the Guidewire Marketplace.

SMA’s powerful workload automation solution, OpCon, helps insurers to streamline processes and eliminate manual tasks, saving users time and manual labor. Integrated with Guidewire Cloud, the OpCon accelerator provides a single point of control for monitoring and enhancing the execution of multiple batch processes and work queues within InsuranceSuite, unlocking even more value from modernization initiatives.

SMA’s OpCon Accelerator for Guidewire Cloud enables insurers to:

  • Improve accuracy and cost savings;
  • Reduce IT complexity and risk; and
  • Optimize operational efficiency throughout the enterprise.

The OpCon accelerator can be applied to the core systems in InsuranceSuite Cloud - ClaimCenter, BillingCenter, and PolicyCenter. It empowers users to synchronize ClaimCenter data to reduce claim cycle time, boost the efficiency and accuracy of BillingCenter teams, and orchestrate PolicyCenter-dependent processes. It also facilitates automated end-of-day/week/month processing, speedy reporting and simplified auditing, and automated commission and third-party payments.

“OpCon customers who harness the full power of automation can save $30,000 or more a month by automating manual tasks and orchestrating workflows across systems and applications," said Todd Dauchy, CEO of SMA Technologies. "We are excited to partner with Guidewire to put the power of automation in their customers’ hands to drive operational efficiency and accelerate the business contribution of IT.”

“Congratulations to SMA Technologies on the release of its new Guidewire Cloud accelerator,” said Will Murphy, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances, Guidewire. “Insurers must continually reckon with ever-changing economic conditions and high customer expectations, making innovative technology and strategic process changes critical for success.
