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 Launches Study on SAP Transformation Providers

By: via Business Wire

  Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will evaluate service providers that help enterprises transition their SAP workloads to the cloud

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study evaluating service providers that help enterprises with their SAP cloud transformations.

The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ SAP Ecosystem reports, scheduled to be released in April 2024. The reports will cover providers offering services for large and midmarket enterprises related to transitioning and maintaining SAP workloads in the cloud.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports 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.

Enterprises that rely on SAP face an imminent deadline to transition to the cloud, with cost savings a top priority. SAP is concentrating on cloudification of its offerings, a broad transformation encompassing S/4HANA, HCM, managed cloud services, cloud economics and FinOps and RISE with SAP. The deadline for ending Enterprise Central Component (ECC) support looms in 2027.

“Enterprises are seeking the right partners to assist in managing SAP applications on-premises and in the cloud while handling cost management across the lifecycle,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “These partners can help leverage enhanced functionalities while preparing enterprises for new challenges.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 130 providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce eight quadrants representing the typical SAP ecosystem and services that enterprises are buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The quadrants are:

  • SAP S/4HANA System Transformation for Large Accounts, covering consulting and system integration service providers able to manage the complexity of large accounts operating multiple SAP instances. Providers are expected to offer frameworks, tools and accelerators to support enterprise demand for fast, safe transformation.
  • SAP S/4HANA System Transformation for Midmarket, evaluating providers offering similar SAP transformation services to mid-sized enterprises. Providers should be able to deploy SAP solutions using multiple methodologies, including packaged solutions for small and mid-sized businesses. They should also use industry-specific templates to reduce the transformation cycle.
  • SAP Application Managed Services, analyzing providers’ ability to offer managed services, including application optimization, support and testing for SAP applications. Providers offer expertise, tools and accelerators to manage applications that align with the customer’s IT and business objectives.
  • Managed Cloud Services for SAP ERP, appraising service providers managing hybrid cloud environments, infrastructure and cloud operations. Providers can resolve clients’ initial technical barriers and resistance to moving ERP to the cloud and support clients in planning and migrating from private to public cloud infrastructures or from on-premises to the cloud.
  • SAP SuccessFactors HXM Partner Services, examining providers implementing and managing the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite that bring technical skills and business experience to transform HR talent management and HR services, customized for local needs.
  • RISE with SAP Implementation Partners, assessing providers who can scope, select and implement the SAP S/4HANA cloud solution, offering tools for various cloud deployment options, services for configuring and integrating S/4HANA cloud with other applications, and help with data migration and business process testing.
  • SAP Business AI and Business Technology Platform (BTP) Services, covering providers that use AI advancements to deliver business impact through SAP Business AI, which is built into SAP applications to improve business-critical processes.
  • Cloud Economics and FinOps Services for SAP, evaluating providers offering cost optimization, with insights into potential spending and savings for enterprise cloud environments hosting SAP workloads.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global SAP market and examine products and services available in Brazil, Germany, the Nordics, the U.K. and the U.S. ISG analysts Akhila Harinarayan (U.K., Nordics and Global), João Luiz Todari (Brazil), Markus Blunk (Germany) and Tarun Vaid (U.S.) will serve as authors of the reports.

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 2024 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.
