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.

U.S. Firms Push ServiceNow Providers on Future Workflows

Longtime users of the workflow automation platform are tackling industry-specific challenges with service providers’ help, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Many enterprises in the U.S., the most mature market for ServiceNow, are working with service providers to adapt the workflow automation platform to industry-specific processes, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ ServiceNow Ecosystem Partners report for the U.S. finds this market is on the cutting edge of applying new capabilities to ServiceNow. The platform, which helps enterprises modernize workflows to improve business results, is expanding its role in digital transformation.

“Getting more out of ServiceNow is a much higher priority in the U.S. than in other regions,” said Bill Huber, global partner, digital platforms and solutions, at ISG. “Companies are ready to expand its role in enterprise workflows with the help of service providers.”

ServiceNow, which made its name by streamlining IT and HR processes to improve user experience, has been broadening its reach by adding AI-powered capabilities in areas such as predictive analytics, virtual agents and natural-language processing. As enterprises implement new work modes, they have a greater need to coordinate workflows across all parts of the organization, ISG says. ServiceNow provides a horizontal workflow automation bus that ties these workflows together.

U.S. enterprises that already use ServiceNow are seeking industry-specific specializations to improve processes well beyond IT or HR, such as financial reporting and regulatory compliance for particular sectors, the report says. By applying ServiceNow to more functions, they hope to realize higher returns on investment from the platform, a need that grows more vital as economic and competitive pressures increase.

Users of ServiceNow in the U.S. are also building more advanced enterprise data applications around it, taking advantage of new features in analytics and predictive modeling, ISG says. This allows for greater automation of tasks such as analyzing legal documents and evaluating progress toward environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. ServiceNow provider partners bring essential AI and machine learning expertise to these initiatives.

“U.S. companies are becoming more agile through the integration of ServiceNow and sophisticated third-party data tools,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “These projects show what enterprises around the world can achieve.”

The report also examines other trends shaping the ServiceNow ecosystem in the U.S., including valuable features coming in the platform’s so-called “Tokyo” release, which will be generally available later this year, and the growing use of ServiceNow’s low-code/no-code development tools.

For more insights into enterprise workflow integration challenges and advice on how to evaluate providers’ solutions to them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ ServiceNow Ecosystem Partners report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 33 providers across three quadrants: ServiceNow Consulting Services, ServiceNow Implementation and Integration Services, and ServiceNow Managed Service Providers.

The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cask, Cognizant, Deloitte, HCLTech, Hexaware, Infosys, LTIMindtree, TCS and Wipro as Leaders in all three quadrants. It names DXC Technology as a Leader in two quadrants and IBM as a Leader in one quadrant.

In addition, Coforge and INRY are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in two quadrants each. RapDev is named as a Rising Star in one quadrant.

A customized version of the report is available from Hexaware.
