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.

Necessity Sparks Digital Re-invention for European Insurers

Superior data management and analytics can help insurers discover new opportunities and identify emerging risks, ISG Provider Lens report says

The lasting impacts from the COVID pandemic, economic disruption, the conflict in Ukraine and climate change have underscored the advantages gained by European insurers that have already embarked on a journey toward digital transformation, 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™ Insurance Platform Solutions report for Europe finds that a rash of disruptions as well as changes in customer expectations have compelled European insurers to be far more resilient. They are responding by improving their operational efficiency, their cost effectiveness and their customer focus in order to continue to grow sustainably. The faster insurers act, the ISG report says, the sooner they will have a means of differentiating themselves from their competitors.

“The need for most European insurers to upgrade their core systems is no longer in doubt,” said Anna Medkouri, partner, ISG EMEA region. “It’s primarily a question of when and how.”

Many European insurers still find themselves hobbled by their legacy systems. According to the ISG report, these outdated systems can inhibit innovation and lead to decreased customer satisfaction, poor customer retention and an inability to control fraud, waste and abuse. Advanced insurance platforms can help insurers to thrive in the market by cutting costs, increasing flexibility, boosting customer experience and speeding products to market. With legacy modernization, outdated core systems are updated, upgraded or replaced with newer, more efficient solutions. The resulting digital transformation compels insurers to accept a fundamental change in the way they perceive the world and conduct their business, ISG says.

With a modernized IT landscape, insurers can more readily adapt to changes in the business environment, allowing them to stay agile and competitive, the ISG report says. For those European insurers that are hesitant to replace all their core systems at once, a hybrid solution can preserve some outdated systems while focusing on the progressive installation of applicable technology. Using novel features such as real-time claims processing and minimal turnaround time, insurers can provide service for their consumers that is seamless and personalized, ISG says.

“Digital experiences have permeated our daily lives,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Life insurers must acknowledge this by modernizing their key systems, prioritizing product innovation and investing in next-generation technologies that satisfy growing customer expectations.”

The report also examines how insurers can use predictive data analytics technologies to detect fraudulent transactions, models and networks.

The 2023 ISG Provider Lens™ Insurance Platform Solutions report for Europe evaluates the capabilities of 29 providers across two quadrants: Life and Retirement Insurance Platform Solutions and Property and Casualty Insurance Platform Solutions.

The report names Adacta, Fadata and Sapiens as Leaders in both quadrants, while Duck Creek Technologies, Guidewire, INSTANDA, Insurity, Lumera, Majesco and msg life are named as Leaders in one quadrant each.

In addition, AdvantageGo and INSTANDA are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in one quadrant each.

Customized versions of the report are available from Adacta.
