About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

One Equity Partners Completes Sale of Computer Design & Integration to AHEAD

Initiatives Over Four Years of Ownership Led to Significant Revenue Growth

One Equity Partners (“OEP”) today announced that it has completed the sale of Computer Design and Integration LLC (“CDI” or the “Company”) to AHEAD, a leading provider of digital platforms for data, AI, infrastructure, and software development. Terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York, CDI is an IT services firm that helps clients across multiple industries to architect, deploy, and manage all multiplatform hybrid IT solutions. CDI’s solutions span the entire IT landscape, including security, application modernization, digital workflow, digital workspace, hybrid cloud infrastructure, intelligent operations, and managed services. OEP acquired the Company in December 2019.

“We were extremely pleased with CDI’s growth and performance during our investment. Partnering with management, we were able to execute several initiatives that not only allowed CDI to do more business, but to do business better,” said Charlie Cole, Partner at OEP. “These included expanding CDI’s service offerings in key areas like cybersecurity and cloud, driving international expansion to India, the UK and Ireland and strengthening relationships with key partners to sharpen CDI’s service to clients across the globe.”

“CDI was a perfect example of the type of investment OEP seeks in the dynamic and rapidly advancing technology space,” added Carlo Padovano, Partner, OEP. “We were extremely satisfied with the pace of growth for the company over our hold period and see the sale to AHEAD as the best outcome for management and the business.”

During OEP’s ownership, CDI saw revenue increase more than 165% via organic growth and an acquisition strategy, including the transformational acquisition of High Availability, a premier IT solution provider and integrator, in January 2021. The Company expanded into new geographic markets and made substantial investments in its services capabilities and its employees.

“OEP was instrumental in helping us drive sustained growth over the past four years through a strategy that combined organic and inorganic growth initiatives,” said Rich Falcone, CEO and President of CDI. “The firm’s business development expertise, deep industry insight and extensive network of relationships were essential in positioning CDI to begin this next chapter with AHEAD.”
