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.

ISG Adds Supplier Intelligence to ISG Executive Insights™

New module gives enterprises direct access to proprietary sourcing industry data to compare supplier rates, performance and risk levels

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, today announced the addition of a new suite of supplier intelligence data and research to the ISG Executive Insights™ data analytics platform.

The new Supplier Intelligence module offers proprietary ISG data and insights on specific supplier capabilities, risks and rates, along with broader provider-focused market trends that allow enterprise users to better manage their supplier ecosystems.

“Supplier ecosystems are growing more complex as the number of partners and capabilities that need to work together to power the modern digital enterprise continues to expand,” said Paul Gottsegen, president of ISG Research and Client Experience. “Leveraging the proprietary data from our vast database of real-world sourcing transactions, we are now providing an easy way for every enterprise to fast-track their detailed intelligence gathering on technology and service providers to drive high-precision decision making.”

ISG Supplier Intelligence gives enterprises a full understanding of their suppliers’ business profiles, performance and risk levels, as well as a way to compare supplier pricing with current market rates, all in the context of broader market trends. The new module provides data in three layers:

  • Wider Sourcing Market – Market intelligence on the global IT and business services industry powered by the ISG Index™, the industry’s authoritative source on contracting activity and market trends, along with forward-looking thought leadership from ISG Events.
  • Individual Provider Capabilities – Insights derived from ISG Provider Lens™, the only service provider evaluation of its kind to combine empirical, data-driven research and market analysis with the real-world experience and observations of ISG's global advisory team. The research allows enterprises to evaluate current and future vendor relationships, and available market offerings.
  • Comprehensive Intelligence on Your Own Providers – Data specific to an enterprise’s current suppliers, including risk indicators, market positioning and location profiles, market rates for services by location and role, and proprietary ISG relationship research to improve the effectiveness and ROI of the enterprise’s sourcing ecosystem.

ISG’s supplier intelligence is derived from the firm’s market-leading data and decades of experience working with enterprise clients on more than 50 percent of all advised sourcing deals, with total contract value to date of more than $475 billion. ISG maintains a database of more than 180,000 sourcing contracts, 5,600 unique assessments and 1.3 million deliverables and obligations, and its research includes in-depth analyses of the broader sourcing market, trending technology developments, provider evaluations, and client experience and relationship data.

“Many of the world’s largest and most recognizable enterprises trust ISG data and research to make more informed sourcing decisions,” said Rekha Acharya, partner and leader, ISG Executive Insights. “The addition of supplier intelligence to the ISG Executive Insights platform provides up-to-the-minute, multi-dimensional views of each user’s provider ecosystem to drive long-term success.”

Additional information about the ISG Executive Insights for Supplier Intelligence module is available on this website.

Launched in January 2022, ISG Executive Insights enables users to manage complex supplier ecosystems by analyzing all their suppliers’ project performance, risk indicators and value delivery in one easy-to-use platform. Clients can customize the information delivered on the platform to meet their business objectives.

ISG Executive Insights is one of four SaaS-based platforms currently offered by ISG.
