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.

National Indemnity Company Selects Guidewire Cloud to Transform Policy, Underwriting, and Billing IT Operations

Commercial lines insurer to leverage Guidewire Cloud for business agility and growth

National Indemnity Company (NICO), a commercial lines insurance provider, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that NICO selected Guidewire PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter on Guidewire Cloud to power the company’s policy administration, underwriting and billing businesses. PolicyCenter and BillingCenter will also help NICO simplify IT operations and adapt quickly to changing market demands. The company also selected Guidewire Explore and Guidewire Predict. NICO has been using a self-managed instance of Guidewire ClaimCenter that it deployed in 2018, making the company a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite customer.

“NICO is already a Guidewire ClaimCenter customer so we felt confident selecting PolicyCenter and BillingCenter to be implemented on Guidewire Cloud. Modern technology is heading to the cloud and that’s where Guidewire’s product roadmaps and future commitments are focused,” said NICO Vice President Tracy Gulden. “By leveraging Guidewire Cloud, Guidewire will be maintaining our systems to keep us current on their latest technology and product innovations so our staff can stay focused on the activities that will deliver value to our agents and customers while also utilizing new capabilities in our business as they become available sooner rather than months or years later. We will also be able to leverage the best-in-class insurtech solutions through the Guidewire Marketplace and PartnerConnect ecosystem to augment our business processes and accelerate our time-to-market. We will be relying on Guidewire Cloud to serve as the foundation for our continued growth.”

“NICO has earned a reputation of unwavering commitment to protecting customers with strength, stability and integrity for the past 83 years,” said Guidewire President and Chief Revenue Officer John Mullen. “We have enjoyed a great partnership with NICO. The alignment of our intentions and strategic focus on driving insurance outcomes provides a great backdrop for this next chapter of our relationship. We look forward to helping them continue their mission of offering one of the widest selections of commercial insurance products in the industry to agents and customers.”

NICO also selected SmartCOMM™ from Smart Communications for customer communications management. Guidewire is a reseller of Smart Communications, a Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution member.
