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.

Alight's commitment to delivering transformational outcomes through end-to-end capabilities, coupled with its global perspective and local expertise, positions the company as a leading provider for enterprises seeking innovative and efficient multi-country payroll solutions

Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology services provider has been named a Leader in Everest Group’s Global Multi-Country Payroll (MCP) Solutions PEAK Matrix® 2023. Alight Global Payroll, which provides an in-country payroll platform that spans over 180+ countries and 25 languages on Alight Worklife® to help transform operations, was highlighted as a key leading differentiator. The platform harmonizes payroll into a single, automated solution, offering clients a streamlined experience for processing, reviewing, reporting and analyzing payroll globally, empowering decision-makers to optimize costs, uncover trends and make informed decisions.

Everest Group evaluated 27 MCP providers that offer solutions to address regulatory, legal and cultural complexities for enterprises managing payroll across multiple countries. Leaders were ranked based on the ability to deliver employee-centric solutions that provide greater flexibility to clients through customization, as well as investments in proprietary technology, data security and partnerships.

In addition to Alight’s Global Payroll solution, Alight’s recent expansion of its strategic partnership with Workday to bring a simplified and unified payroll experience globally, as well as additional partnerships with leading Human Capital Management (HCM) systems including SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle and Kronos were recognized as strengths.

Alight’s automation and AI capabilities were also highlighted by Everest Group as key differentiators, including:

  • Eloise, a patented algorithm which helps companies analyze historic pay data to detect, classify and correct anomalies to help companies deliver payroll with 100% quality consistency across their entire work population.
  • Ask Lisa, an AI-based virtual assistant which responds to employees specific, personalized information such as spending account claim decisions to debit card status and more.
  • Alight Pay, the company’s proprietary, cloud-based payroll calculation engine, which is currently available in ten countries, with plans to continue expanding availability to additional geographies in 2024.
  • Alight’s Automation Anywhere feature which facilitates the seamless automation of country- or client-specific custom payroll transactions.

Moreover, the Alight Worklife platform stood out as a market differentiator, allowing employers to deliver a centralized employee experience that integrates payroll, benefits and wellbeing. The platform also facilitates payment distribution for net-pay deposits and third-party payments through Alight Payment Services and earned wage access (EWA) via the Alight Digital Wallet. Complementing these features, Alight offers transparency into payroll and integration data through tools like Alight Analyze for global labor spend insights and the Alight Access and Exchange Dashboard, providing comprehensive visibility into the end-to-end integration between cloud HCM and payroll processes.

“Our clients are looking for truly global payroll solutions while still accounting for local nuances and are turning to Alight to help them simplify and standardize across regions while providing them with total control and visibility over their end-to-end processes,” said Luca Saracino, executive vice president of payroll and professional services at Alight. “Clients want a flexible, yet consistent service model that takes into consideration their needs in the U.S. as well as for their European and APAC regions and provides a single source of truth. Alight’s recognition as a Leader in Everest Group’s Global Multi-Country Payroll (MCP) Solutions PEAK Matrix® 2023 is a testament to how we are uniquely positioned to help our clients address these challenges with our global footprint, our technology, our Alight Worklife platform and our services.”
