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.

VoPay Aims to Transform Financial Operations for Insurance Carriers & MGAs, Targeting $3.5 Trillion in Annual Transactions Across North America

 Real-time financial clarity unlocks hidden potential in the insurance industry

VoPay, an embedded payment technology company, is excited to announce the launch of its new vertical focused on the insurance industry, delivering a comprehensive suite of modular solutions designed to optimize financial operations for insurance carriers and Managing General Agents (MGAs).

In an era where efficiency and transparency are paramount, VoPay’s platform offers advanced capabilities in treasury management, premium collection, payment orchestration, and claims management. With a focus on carriers and Managing General Agents (MGAs), this innovative solution aims to digitize and simplify complex financial processes, enabling insurance companies to operate more efficiently and effectively. By integrating embedded payments into policy administration systems and brokerage admin systems, VoPay optimizes financial operations for carriers and MGAs, allowing them to focus on what they do best.

The insurance industry faces significant challenges due to reliance on multiple, disconnected systems for policy administration, payments, and financial reporting. This leads to:

  • Delayed insights: Carriers receive financial reports weeks after the end of a month, hindering decision-making and risk management. On average, carriers have $250 million per month in policy premiums tied up for 45-60 days, creating cash flow inefficiencies and missed opportunities.
  • Manual reconciliation: Program administrators struggle to match data across different companies and programs, resulting in significant time and resource expenditures.
  • Lack of visibility: A real-time understanding of financial performance and potential liabilities is nearly impossible, making it difficult to manage risk and identify growth opportunities proactively.
  • Scaling Challenges: Manual administration and a lack of integration make it difficult for carriers to scale operations efficiently in a digital-first world.

Our solution eliminates the manual work and inefficiencies that create daily headaches and hinder operations. By automating policy administration and payment tasks, we offer a unified platform that replaces disjointed, manual processes from start to finish. Our platform creates a real-time, unified ledger that provides clear visibility into:

  • Sales & Payments: Who sold which policies, where, and how they were sold.
  • Financial Breakdown: Exact amounts earned, fees owed, and carrier disbursements.
  • Risk Mitigation: Instant visibility into potential overselling or compliance issues.

“We understand the unique challenges faced by the insurance industry, and we've tailored our agnostic technology to directly impact the pain points experienced by MGAs and carriers.” says Hamed Arbabi, VoPay Founder & CEO, “By providing real-time financial clarity and automating key financial processes, we're helping carriers and MGAs digitally transform their operations quickly and efficiently, freeing up time to focus on scaling.”

Key Benefits of Integrating with VoPay:

  • Accelerated Financial Reporting: Month-end reconciliation in days, not weeks.
  • Improved Cash Flow: Faster payouts and fund transfers free up working capital and enable carriers to reinvest in their business.
  • Enhanced Risk Management: Proactive identification of overselling and compliance issues mitigates potential liabilities.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Real-time insights into sales performance and financial health empower carriers to make informed strategic decisions.

Treasury Management: Real-Time Financial Clarity

VoPay’s Treasury Management solution provides insurers with instant access to comprehensive financial ledgers for each insured and MGA, eliminating traditional delays associated with bordereau submissions and reconciliation. This real-time visibility empowers carriers to track policy sales and financial activity, facilitating faster decision-making and proactive management.

Payment Orchestration: Collection & Reconciliation

Automating the premium collection process, VoPay extracts essential policy details and generates invoices and debit authority requests directly from the policy administration system. With multiple payment options available, VoPay provides advanced payment experiences, accelerating collection cycles and enhancing overall efficiency. VoPay’s integrated ledgers allow for swift and accurate reconciliation of financial records, ensuring premium payments, claims payouts, and commissions are precisely accounted for.

Claim Management: Flexible and Efficient Payouts

VoPay’s Claim Management module supports carriers in distributing and adjusting claims seamlessly. Offering domestic and international payout options—including bank accounts, mobile wallets, and cards—VoPay empowers carriers to settle claims promptly, greatly enhancing customer satisfaction.

VoPay is committed to empowering insurance carriers and MGAs to modernize their financial operations, achieve greater transparency, and deliver exceptional service to policyholders. Our modular approach ensures seamless integration and scalability, adapting to the evolving needs of the insurance industry.
