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.

Looking for Return on Experience™ for Guests and Staff, Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC Implements Agilysys’ Award-Winning POS at its Third Property, Magnolia Bluffs Casino Hotel

Family-owned and operated casino and hotel understands the need to expand beyond gaming to provide guests with exceptional, end-to-end service

Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC has implemented Agilysys’ award-winning point-of-sale (POS) solution at two of its casino sites (Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs, NY and Saratoga Casino in Black Hawk, CO) and is expanding its footprint of the feature-rich system that enables staff members to deliver High Return Hospitality.

Saratoga Casino Holdings extended its reach by acquiring the 140-room Magnolia Bluffs Casino Hotel in Natchez, Miss., and rolled out the Agilysys POS solution, bringing seamless efficiency to the property. Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS) is a leading global provider of modern-day SaaS and on-premises hospitality software solutions and services.

While gaming is the lifeblood of casinos, properties like Magnolia Bluffs are realizing they must provide an end-to-end patron experience to make a lasting impact. A recent Gaming Control Board report shows food and beverage and other amenities accounted for nearly 70% of total revenue in 2022, up from its combined share of almost 60% recorded in 2021. Gaming is important, but so is the overall casino experience.

“Agilysys POS has the cutting-edge features required of a busy casino food & beverage operation along with a wide set of supported comprehensive integrations with various casino player tracking systems currently in use in the gaming industry,” said Scott Bartgis, Corporate Director of Information Technology, Saratoga Casino Holdings, LLC. “This benefit allows our patrons to use accumulated casino loyalty points as a form of payment at food outlets through the POS system, increasing the quality of experience guests enjoy at our property.”

Agilysys worked alongside Magnolia Bluffs property management to ensure the Agilysys POS implementation was a success. The fast and seamless POS rollover enabled the staff to provide exceptional service to patrons across every touchpoint and create High Return Hospitality that encourages them to do more, spend more, leave stronger reviews and return to Magnolia Bluffs more often.

“Guests today have high demands for exceptional staff interactions and memorable experiences when visiting a property like Magnolia Bluffs Casino Hotel,” said Anoop Balakrishnan, VP Client Services, Agilysys. “Staff have high demands as well, like having next-generation hospitality solutions that are as easy to use as their smart device and enable them to provide better, faster, more efficient service. The leadership at Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC knows the technology they use could be a literal game-changer.”
