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.

PROG Holdings Announces Build, an Innovative Credit Building Financial Management Tool

By: via Business Wire

Build users can see credit score increases in as little as 60 days

PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Vive Financial, and Four Technologies, announces Build, a financial technology company that believes everyone should have the opportunity to improve their financial health through credit building products alongside educational financial tools and information.

The Build Credit Builder Account, issued by WebBank, Member FDIC, combines the benefits of an installment loan and a secured savings account to help consumers build both positive credit history and personal savings.

Initially launched in December 2021 to a select group of Progressive Leasing customers, Build is currently available in 16 states, and the Company expects to be able to offer access to consumers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia by the end of 2023.

Building a Solid Credit Foundation

The Build Credit Builder Account is designed to help people utilize regular monthly payments to establish positive credit history. According to the Fair Isaac Corporation, payment history accounts for 35% of an individual’s FICO score.

When a customer opens a Build Credit Builder Account, WebBank creates an installment loan and deposits the proceeds into a secured savings deposit account. Customers can increase their positive credit history by making on-time regular monthly payments on the installment loan. Those payments are reported to all three credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and Transunion, helping customers that complete scheduled payments on time achieve credit score increases in as little as 60 days.

After the final payment is made on the installment loan, the loan is reported to the credit bureaus as paid in-full and the associated loan funds, less interest and fees, are provided to the customer. If the account is closed prior to the completion of the loan, the associated loan funds accumulated to that point, less interest and fees, will be provided to the customer at that time.

Furthermore, with a number of Build Credit Builder Account options and repayment periods, consumers can choose the solution that best fits their individual credit building needs.

“Build represents PROG Holdings’ continuing commitment to develop empowering products that fill the gaps in traditional personal finance, credit, and payment options. We understand the needs of today’s consumers and create thoughtfully designed, forward-thinking products to support millions of households in their financial goals,” said Steve Michaels, President and Chief Executive Officer of PROG Holdings. “Build is a potential next step in the financial journey for millions of consumers, including Progressive Leasing customers and applicants, looking to improve their credit scores.”

Unlocking the Possibilities of Tomorrow

Build’s parent company, PROG Holdings, Inc., helps consumers of all financial backgrounds create a better today and unlock the possibilities of tomorrow through financial empowerment using inclusive and easy-to-use financial technologies and products.

The Company’s Progressive Leasing segment helped pioneer the Virtual Lease to Own industry over twenty years ago, and since that time it has helped millions of customers achieve ownership of the goods and products they need through flexible and transparent payment options.

In addition to Build and Progressive Leasing, PROG Holdings’ companies include Vive Financial, an omnichannel provider of second-look revolving credit products, and Four Technologies, provider of Buy Now, Pay Later payment options

“As a leader in building flexible financial and payment solutions that empower consumers, PROG Holdings is thrilled to introduce Build, a credit building tool that can help people across the country reach their personal financial goals,” said Michaels. “When our customers told us that their number one financial goal is to build credit, we saw a significant opportunity to offer access to an inclusive and transparent financial credit builder option within our suite of fintech products."
