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.

AI Integrated into Conduent Life@Work® Connect with Jellyvision and TALON to Educate Employees about Open Enrollment and Maximize Healthcare Benefit Spend

51% of U.S. adults find their health insurance plan difficult to understand

Conduent’s enhanced platform now provides a stronger employee experience to create a holistic view of health and wellness benefits and costs

Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led business solutions and services company, announced the integration of AI-driven solutions by TALON and Jellyvision’s ALEX with its Life@Work Connect Experience Platform, to elevate employee understanding of their personal health and wellness benefits. With the addition of Jellyvision and TALON, Life@Work Connect integrates additional uses of AI with two new employee resources in its digital portal that help employees navigate open enrollment more easily and maximize their healthcare benefits throughout the year.

Integrated tools for benefits decisions, education and optimization

  • ALEX, Jellyvision’s benefits decision support advisor, engages employees to guide them through their entire benefits package, taking into consideration an individual’s personal level of risk tolerance, their unique health, family, and lifestyle, and then offers personalized benefits recommendations.
  • TALON’s price transparency tool helps employees identify and navigate to low-cost, high quality, in-network providers, with over 10,000 services and procedures searchable for accurate, precise out-of-pocket cost-comparison.

By integrating educational and price-transparency solutions into its Life@Work Connect platform, Conduent’s health and wellness administration solutions:

  • maximize employer investments in health care benefits, which is the second most expensive line item for employers after payroll.
  • increase employee understanding of their benefit plan options and costs.

“When companies improve the employee experience, like helping employees better understand their benefits, companies positively impact business metrics,” said John Larson, Vice President for Total Benefit Solutions at Conduent. “When clients work with Conduent as a health and wellness benefits administrator, we bring together our capabilities and experience with multiple decision tools into a single seamless and digital employee experience that drives engagement and business outcomes.”

“ALEX develops deep trust with users with bits of humor and delight woven into the benefit plan selection. You have to build trust with an individual to encourage them to change behaviors. We know ALEX is having an impact that translates into tangible results. Employee reports show they are making more preventative healthcare appointments, are better able to meet their health goals, and almost 90% say they understand their benefits more after talking with ALEX,” said Brian Meager, President of Jellyvision.

“Once employees have selected their health plan, they are often confused about how to optimize their benefits. TALON’s data shows a huge opportunity to help employees save on out-of-pocket healthcare expenses,” said Mark Galvin, CEO at TALON. “By providing employees with the ability to comparison shop means they are getting real and measurable benefits. For instance, employees who searched and shopped for various blood tests saved as much as 95% off the highest-cost in-network provider and over 25% compared to employees who didn’t shop.”

Health and wellness administration provider Conduent, benefits advisor ALEX from Jellyvision and TALON’s health care price transparency platform can enable better health and wellness outcomes for employees with solutions that align budget, benefits strategy and goals.
