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.

Bowhead Specialty Underwriters, Inc. Implements Guidewire InsuranceNow to Accelerate Product Development and Growth

Specialty lines insurer leveraging core operations in the cloud to drive quoting and submission process innovation

Bowhead Specialty (Bowhead), a specialty lines underwriter, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Bowhead implemented Guidewire InsuranceNow to accelerate the pace of launching new products and time-to-market. The company implemented InsuranceNow to its Casualty line of business nationwide and has begun implementing the system to its Professional Liability and Healthcare lines.

“Our priority was a cloud-first system with a modern architecture and integrated core, data, and digital components to enable the accelerated pace of our product development and sales,” said Bowhead Chief Information Officer Bob Spina. “We write a very craft-like business and wanted to drive innovation in our submission flow and quoting. InsuranceNow provided an all-in-one implementation approach, with the flexibility to introduce new products and expand our portfolio.”

Spina added, “Working with Guidewire, we stayed close to out-of-the-box with little configuration, as there is quite a bit of flexibility in the platform. We were on time and under our original statement of work – then added a new product line during implementation. We have the flexibility to incorporate flow traffic, and the role of InsuranceNow will soon increase in our quoting and billing. Analytics will also be an essential component of our business.”

“Bowhead has been a great partner throughout the process. We congratulate them on their successful InsuranceNow implementation and look forward to supporting their future growth,” said Guidewire Vice President of Insurance Delivery Richard Henderson. “We are delighted that InsuranceNow is providing the core platform enabling Bowhead to innovate and modernize its specialty lines.”
