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.

Canadian Bank and Credit Card Apps Slow to Include Personal Financial Management Tools, J.D. Power Finds

By: via Business Wire

Personalized Budgeting and Financial Management Tools Create Opportunities for Providers

While the major U.S. retail banks and credit card providers have trained their sights on a new generation of personal financial management “super tools” as the next frontier of mobile app and website development, Canadian banks have been slower to adopt these features. According to a series of recent studies of bank and credit card mobile app and online users in Canada, released today by J.D. Power, these digital features that are focused on personal financial management have become the keys to standout customer engagement and customer satisfaction for the handful of banks that have embraced them. However, they have also introduced challenges.

J.D. Power 2023 Canada Banking and Credit Card Mobile App Satisfaction Study

J.D. Power 2023 Canada Banking and Credit Card Mobile App Satisfaction Study

The studies—J.D. Power 2023 Canada Banking Mobile App Satisfaction Study;SM 2023 Canada Online Banking Satisfaction Study;SM 2023 Canada Credit Card Mobile App Satisfaction Study;SM and 2023 Canada Online Credit Card Satisfaction StudySM—track overall customer satisfaction with banking and credit card providers’ digital offerings.

“The trendline is clear,” said Jennifer White, senior director of banking and payments intelligence at J.D. Power. “Banks and credit card providers that position themselves as the hub of their customers’ financial lives—and give them the tools they need to manage everything from a single, easy-to-use interface—are gaining a huge lead in customer satisfaction and customer engagement vs. institutions that have not invested in these tools. Across J.D. Power studies, the gap is widening between the top- and bottom-performing apps and websites as organizations work to find digital solutions that make their customers’ lives easier.”

Following are some key findings of the 2023 studies:

  • Basic transactional tools consistently perform better than more advanced features: Banks and credit card mobile apps and websites are receiving substantially higher overall satisfaction scores for basic transactional tools such as account transfer, bill pay, mobile check deposit and person-to-person payments. When it comes to more advanced personal financial management tools such as spending analysis and budgeting tools, many providers struggle to connect with customers.
  • Personal financial management tools drive satisfaction—when they are used: When banking app customers actively engage with three or more personal financial management tools, such as credit score monitoring, spending analysis and budgeting tools, overall satisfaction scores rise 114 points (on a 1,000-point scale) vs. when these tools are not offered. The first hurdle to lifting satisfaction with these tools is promoting wider tool use.
  • Virtual assistants do heavy lifting on adoption: Customers who use a virtual assistant provided on their banking app are four times more likely to use personal financial management tools.
  • Alerts play important role in influencing financial health: Among financially unhealthy1 customers, account alerts drive a 33-point increase in customer satisfaction with banking mobile apps. Among financially healthy customers, use of account alerts is consistent with a 29-point increase in customer satisfaction.
