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.

Blue Yonder Named a Strong Performer by Analyst Firm in Order Management Research Report

Blue Yonder, the leader in digital supply chain transformations and omni-channel commerce fulfillment, has announced that global analyst firm Forrester Research named it a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Order Management Systems, Q2 2023 report. Blue Yonder attributed this recognition to the strength of its Order Management (OMS) microservice solutions.

Forrester describes Blue Yonder as “a best fit for firms that are making a slow transition away from legacy solutions and that need to add modern optimization support now.” In the current offering category, Blue Yonder received the highest scores possible in the criteria of enterprise inventory management, pre- and post-purchase experience, order orchestration rules, fulfillment automation, and scalability. In the strategy category, Forrester also gave Blue Yonder a score of 5 out of 5 in the performance, product vision and community engagement criteria.

“We are excited to receive such positive recognition from Forrester for Blue Yonder’s OMS solutions. As consumer expectations continue to evolve, businesses have been challenged to quickly address their changing demand and control rising costs, all while connecting through a highly complex supply chain. Our augmentative and scalable OMS microservices have helped our customers rapidly transform their businesses to deliver seamless connected experiences that meet their consumers’ expectations while delivering value to their organization through increased sales and cost savings,” said Omar Akilah, corporate vice president – Commerce, Blue Yonder.

According to the Forrester Wave report, “OMS adoption — and the value it adds to commerce experiences — has massively expanded in recent years.” Also in the report, Forrester describes the need for organizations to provide availability and delivery information in real-time and earlier in the shopping journey to meet customer demand. As a result of these latest trends, customers should look for providers that offer them real-time inventory and delivery updates, the flexibility to make near instantaneous adjustments, support the technical functions that fill current gaps and provide longer-term value, and stellar user experiences for practitioners.

Blue Yonder’s Order Management (OMS) microservice solutions offer customers responsive, real-time inventory visibility, profitable and capacity aware order sourcing, flexible orchestration linked with visibility and analytics, and store fulfillment that manages inventory to customer pickup. The augmentative microservices allow companies to align the technology to their strategies to adapt and scale even faster to keep pace, all while delivering a seamless consumer experience from engagement to delivery and support.

The Forrester Wave™: Order Management Systems, Q2 2023 report evaluated top OMS vendors in the market across strategy, current offering and market presence. Businesses can use the report to help them identify and shortlist vendors whose capabilities and strategies match their business goals and requirements. The report1 is available to Forrester subscribers or for purchase at www.Forrester.com.
