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.

Bristol Myers Squibb Inducted into the Billion Dollar Roundtable, Expands Supplier Diversity Efforts

- Achieves $1 billion investment goal with diverse-owned suppliers

- Expanding diverse-owned supplier spend globally to increase impact

Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) announces induction into the Billion Dollar Roundtable, joining other Fortune 100 companies that have invested $1 billion with diverse-owned suppliers. This milestone highlights BMS' longstanding history of taking purposeful action to advance health equity, foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, improve and increase the diversity in its clinical trials and expand the diversity among its supplier base.

BMS established aspirational inclusion and diversity goals and health equity commitments in 2020 to address health disparities by 2025. In connection to these goals, BMS aspired to spend $1 billion with diverse and minority-owned businesses and has delivered on this important milestone ahead of its 2025 timeline. Sustaining and building on this achievement will remain a priority.

Investing in diverse-owned suppliers brings agility and innovation to BMS, while closing economic gaps as a social determinant of health in diverse communities. BMS has contracted with more than six hundred diverse suppliers owned by underrepresented groups, women, veterans, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and other diverse populations; underscoring an unwavering dedication to creating opportunities and driving economic impact.

“Our investment reinforces our commitment to collaborating with industry leaders and driving business priorities,” said David Elkins, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Bristol Myers Squibb. “We are proud of the meaningful progress we’ve made to meet our goal.”

BMS has cultivated powerful partnerships with a wide range of diverse-owned business partners and industry leaders to enhance its operations. BMS actively collaborates with renowned organizations such as the National Minority Supplier Development Council, Women's Business Enterprise National Council, National LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Disability IN, and the National Veteran Owned Business Association. By partnering with these organizations, BMS aligns with their shared objectives of economic development, wealth creation, and job opportunities for diverse suppliers and communities.

While joining the Billion Dollar Roundtable marks a significant achievement, BMS looks to build upon this success.

“We have increased our diverse spend by being purposeful and creating the right partnerships,” said Rondu Vincent, Executive Director, Global Supplier Diversity and Sustainability, Bristol Myers Squibb. “Inclusion is a BMS Value and at the end of the day, the numbers quantify our spend but the value is the impact we’re making in the communities we live, work and serve.”

BMS is expanding its spend globally by developing international contracting opportunities, including a partnership with Minority Supplier Development UK (MSDUK). BMS remains committed to championing supplier diversity as an essential element to our business growth strategy. By nurturing a diverse supplier base, BMS aims to increase innovation, foster economic growth, and drive equitable outcomes for patients and communities around the world.
