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.

New Study: Project Management Information Systems Further Benefit Capital Building Programs When Applied to Multiple Processes

By: via Business Wire

Improved cost predictability experienced by 61% of owners using PMIS for most of their capital management activities

New research from Dodge Construction Network and Projectmates reveals construction business owners can improve their processes and projects by using project management information systems (PMIS) beyond core functions. In the report, Building Better With Technology: How Owners Are Leveraging Software to Improve Project Management SmartMarket Brief, it is clear that most PMIS users experience many benefits. However, more owners who expand their use of PMIS compared to those with limited utilization rate their experience of those benefits at a very high level, including:

  • Better informed decisions on their projects (74% versus 39%).
  • Improved design solutions (67% versus 31%).
  • Better cost predictability (61% versus 35%).
  • Ability to mitigate design and construction risks (51% versus 30%).

"At Projectmates, we've witnessed the remarkable impact that a fully optimized PMIS can have on construction programs," says Varsha Bhave, President and CTO of Projectmates. "Dodge's survey findings serve as further validation of what we've long understood: the utilization of a PMIS can significantly enhance construction programs, making owners more efficient and promoting sustainability when this technology is fully harnessed."

STRONG STRATEGY BRINGS STRONG OUTCOMES

When surveyed, owners fell into three types: those who ensured each division in their company had at least one competent PMIS user, those that centralized their PMIS expertise into a few users, and those with no strategic approach to PMIS competence. Those with a more centralized approach report the strongest results from their PMIS strategy.

  • Most of those with centralized expertise report high levels of satisfaction with the document management (78%) and schedule management (75%) capabilities of PMIS, far more than those with an unstructured approach (21% and 24% respectively).
  • A large majority of those with a strategic approach to PMIS reported the tool exceeding their performance expectations compared to those with an unstructured approach. This is particularly notable when it comes to effective document management (80% versus 53%) and risk issue tracking (71% versus 45%).

“Establishing a deliberate and strategic approach to utilizing PMIS across an organization is imperative to the success of their capital program,” says Steve Jones, senior director of industry insights at DCN. “Those who manage more of their processes in the PMIS from the start are set up to achieve more than those who take a more passive approach. Our findings reveal that by creating a specific, deliberate strategy for the means and the breadth of their PMIS implementation, owners achieve far more in the long run.”

The report contains more detailed findings and additional analysis as well as two case studies on owners’ PMIS implementation and use. It can be downloaded at https://www.construction.com/resource/building-better-with-technology-how-owners-are-leveraging-software-to-improve-project-management/.
