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.

UK Auto Company Launches B2C Store for BMW and MINI Parts on BigCommerce

Leading OEM partnered with Autofixa Solutions to simplify parts sourcing and purchasing for end customers

BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established B2C and B2B brands, today announced the launch of BMW Group UK, a leading supplier of BMW and MINI original parts, on the BigCommerce platform.

BigCommerce technology partner Autofixa Solutions, a provider of marketplace solutions for the automotive industry, was approached by BMW Group UK to launch new stores for both the BMW and MINI brands, featuring ERP integrations that sync inventory supplies and pricing data directly with the stores. The store primarily serves consumers, but business customers also use it as an easy alternative for locating and purchasing specific parts.

BigCommerce was selected as a market leader that could provide a stable and scalable platform out of the box and help accelerate BMW Group UK’s ability to make improvements to its storefronts. The company chose BigCommerce for the robustness of its platform, exceptional functionality and strong partner ecosystem.

“BigCommerce provided the necessary tools, infrastructure and support to ensure BMW Group’s stores would be successful,” said Graham Broughton, co-founder and CEO of Autofixa. “The scalability of its platform ensures it can handle rapid growth, while its partner network provides access to experts in various e-commerce areas.”

Leveraging BigCommerce enabled BMW Group UK to support an increase in product ranges and categories, add additional functionality such as pay-over-time options and improve the overall customer shopping experience. A middleware Hemi Connect is integrated to the merchant’s ERP system where it pushes stock prices not only to the marketplaces but also to the ecommerce shop, creating a true omnichannel solution for the merchant and negating issues such as overselling or price parity.

“The BigCommerce platform and Autofixa’s innovative marketplace technology combined to create impressive new BMW and MINI storefronts, which were up and running quickly after the project started,” said Mark Adams, senior vice president and general manager of EMEA at BigCommerce. “BMW Group UK now has a platform that can scale with its growth and deliver an exceptional customer experience.”

BMW Group UK joins a growing group of automotive merchants on the BigCommerce platform, including BB Wheels, Brock’s Performance and Van Cafe. To explore BigCommerce’s automotive ecommerce solutions and how they help transform how to sell auto parts online, click here.
