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.

Aderant Introduces Onyx: Law Firms’ OCG Compliance Chaos is About to End

Onyx, the only solution to automate and unify OCG compliance across time, billing and eBilling, will launch at Aderant Global Momentum in Denver next month

Aderant, a leading provider of legal business management solutions, has announced the upcoming launch of Onyx – a revolutionary AI-powered solution that will transform Outside Counsel Guideline (OCG) compliance for law firms – at its upcoming Global Momentum conference in Denver, CO. Previously, firms have used a patchwork of manual and semi-automated systems to take in OCGs and enforce their terms in timekeeping, but this left behind billing and eBilling. With the groundbreaking Onyx solution, Aderant offers a fully automated and unified system that connects compliance throughout the timekeeping, billing, and eBilling processes.

“Law firms have been grappling with billing and compliance for far too long, and it's about time they had a solution that actually works. Aderant is proud to offer the first advanced AI platform that ensures compliance across the entire time and billing journey,” said Aderant President & CEO Chris Cartrett. “This helps law firms get paid without issues and put an end to the madness that has long weighed them down.”

Onyx is designed to tackle the biggest challenges of complying with client guidelines:

  • Compliance:
    • Onyx automatically detects risks and provides real-time guidance to ensure that time entries, expenses, bills, and eBills are always compliant with client guidelines. Violation reports help firms address issues where they arise. Onyx is the only solution that effectively addresses eBilling compliance challenges. Its sophisticated ‘closed loop’ system feeds back intelligence from the eBill vendor sites on adherence to rules, any hidden rules, and any guideline changes.



  • Costs:
    • Onyx drastically reduces costs of compliance. “Equipped with high-performing, pre-trained AI, Onyx delivers quick time-to-value and substantial cost savings for our clients,” said Aderant Chief Product Officer Doug Matthews. “Our AI promptly extracts terms from lengthy OCG documents and categorizes them for easy reference with minimal human intervention. It then helps create and validate rules at each step of the time and billing journey. This reduces the burden on lawyers and staff, improving productivity and profitability.”



  • Coordination:
    • Onyx provides a centralized repository of client guideline documents, terms, and rules –categorized by client, matter, and business area. This makes it easy for people to find information they need without sifting through endless documents. The system tracks any changes made to OCGs and notifies relevant parties, ensuring everyone is up to date on the latest developments.



  • Compensation:
    • Compliance with client guidelines is crucial to a firm's ability to receive compensation for services rendered. Onyx reduces the risk of bill rejections, write-downs, and write-offs, which unchecked can lead to significant reductions and delays in payment. Firms can protect their client relationships, preventing loss of trust and potential future business opportunities.

“Onyx is a game-changer for law firms because it addresses these challenges at their core,” said Matthews. “For the first time ever, firms can ensure end-to-end compliance, improve coordination across multiple teams, reduce costs, and minimize reductions and delays in compensation.”

Solving billing and compliance issues enables firms to get paid without friction and manage the client contractual relationship with confidence. Moreover, it frees up lawyers' time and allows them to focus on work quality and billable hours. This all results in improved revenue, profits, and client retention.

Onyx will integrate with all major legal financial and practice management systems, ensuring seamless operations for law firms.

Firms interested in Onyx are encouraged to register for Aderant’s Global Momentum conference taking place in Denver, CO from May 8-11. The company will give a live demonstration for all in-person and virtual attendees and offer several deep dive breakout sessions. Special pricing incentives will be available to firms who sign up for Onyx at the event. Register for this event here: https://www.aderant.com/momentum/2023-05-momentum-denver/.
