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.

Entrata Launches Homebody Rewards and Procure to Pay to Streamline Operations and Improve Resident Experience

Innovative Solutions Simplify Vendor Management, Streamline Payments, and Provide Added Benefits For Residents

Entrata, a leading AI-enabled multifamily Operating System (OS), today announced the launch of two new products designed to improve property management efficiency and elevate the resident experience: Procure to Pay and Homebody Rewards. The Procure to Pay solution simplifies procurement and payment processes, while Homebody Rewards encourages resident engagement by offering incentives that foster long-term retention and operational savings.

Entrata’s Procure to Pay automates vendor management and payment workflows, making it easier for property managers to find compliant vendors, place orders, and track payments—all within the Entrata platform. Key features include:

  • Punchout Catalog Purchasing: Access millions of vendor catalog items with real-time pricing from a broad network of top suppliers.
  • Full-Service Vendor Credentialing: Manage vendor onboarding and compliance through Entrata’s partnership with NetVendor.
  • AI-Powered Invoice Processing: Achieves 94% accuracy in invoice prediction, streamlining the entire billing process.
  • Secure Bill Pay: Offers multiple payment options, including Virtual Card, ACH, and paper check, with real-time tracking.

Homebody Rewards is a resident loyalty program where residents can earn points for paying rent on time, signing a new lease, setting up autopay, and more. Points can be redeemed through an extensive network of providers, including thousands of retailers, over 200 airlines and hotels worldwide. This program helps property owners attract and retain residents while simultaneously reducing operating costs.

“Our Homebody Rewards and Procure to Pay solutions tackle critical property management challenges by streamlining operations and elevating resident engagement,” said Catherine Wong, COO and CPO of Entrata. “Through vendor process automation and meaningful resident incentives, we’re not only improving the efficiency of management but also enhancing the living experience in multifamily communities—further solidifying Entrata’s industry leadership and dedication to both property owners and residents.”

Last month, Entrata introduced ELI+, a suite of AI-driven modules that help optimize leasing, renewals, and payments with seamless automation. With features like omni-channel communication and real-time data insights, ELI+ reduces costs and enhances property management workflows.

Entrata continues to lead the multifamily housing sector by delivering tools that enhance both property operations and the resident experience. As the industry evolves, Entrata remains committed to driving innovation and meeting the needs of property managers and residents.
