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.

Automate Pricing Processes with Akur8’s New Guidewire Marketplace App

By: via Business Wire

Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) and Akur8 announced that Akur8’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerator is now available to PolicyCenter users in the Guidewire Marketplace.

Designed exclusively for the P&C insurance industry, Akur8 leverages machine learning and predictive analytics to empower insurers to make faster, more informed decisions. Akur8 automates the generation of production-ready Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) and Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), allowing pricing teams to easily build highly predictive models with speed and accuracy. Integrated with Guidewire, Akur8’s app automates the export of these Akur8-built risk models into PolicyCenter’s Rating Engine, removing the traditional IT bottleneck in rate deployment.

Akur8’s Accelerator for AI-Powered Pricing enables insurers to:

  • Accelerate time-to-market for new rates and products;
  • Maintain transparency and control over the pricing models created; and
  • Increase accuracy, security, and efficiency.

Akur8’s comprehensive technology supports pricing teams throughout the whole pricing process, from modeling to deployment. Cloud-based and collaborative, Akur8 has been designed for business users, ensuring the technology is easy to adopt.

“Pricing risk correctly is a critical discipline for insurance companies,” said Samuel Falmagne, CEO of Akur8. “The combination of our innovative, automated solution and Guidewire’s industry-leading P&C platform creates a leading-edge insurance pricing solution that quickly leaves behind older, conventional methods.”

“Congratulations to Akur8 on the release of its new PolicyCenter app,” said Will Murphy, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances, Guidewire. “Traditional rate deployment can be a very tedious task, burdened with manual labor that slows the entire pricing process. With Akur8 integrated with Guidewire, this labor is eliminated, increasing efficiency, agility, and speed-to-market for insurers.”

Akur8 is a Bronze level sponsor of Guidewire Connections 2023. For more information on the integration, visit the Akur8 booth at Connections.
