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.

MicroStrategy Extends Data and AI Access Across the Enterprise with Latest MicroStrategy AI Release and New Auto Express Trial

MicroStrategy Auto™ is enhanced with AI explainability, automated workflows, mobile app support, and API connectivity, making analytics more accessible for every worker.

MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a pioneer in AI-powered business intelligence, unveiled enhancements to the MicroStrategy Auto™ bot at MicroStrategy World 2024. These enhancements help organizations extend the reach of AI and enterprise-grade analytics by addressing industrywide trust and accessibility issues.

MicroStrategy AI, introduced in 2023, is now in its third GA release, which includes enhanced AI explainability, automated workflows, and several other features designed to increase convenience, reliability, and flexibility for customers. The company also launched MicroStrategy Auto Express™, allowing anyone to create and share AI-powered bots and dashboards free for 30 days.

AI Explainability

Lack of trust and transparency is a common barrier to AI adoption. With the latest release of MicroStrategy AI, Auto provides both text and visual explanations of how the bot interpreted the user’s natural-language question. This enables users to see through the typical “black box” of AI processing, which adds more context to results, builds trust, and helps users reach reliable answers faster.

Automated Workflows Triggered by Data Insights

Organizations need actionable insights to leverage data for better business outcomes. With the latest enhancements, MicroStrategy customers can now accelerate speed to action by triggering automated workflows within any MicroStrategy ONE® dashboard or Auto-enhanced application. Using Python-driven actions, users can connect to multiple systems for common and timely activities, such as:

  • Updating prospect opportunity information in Salesforce
  • Triggering an email campaign in Marketo
  • Approving client entertainment expenses in Workday

Enriched Knowledge Assets

Using the patented MicroStrategy Semantic Graph, Auto reliably answers questions about standard business data (e.g. "Customer," "Employee," "Profit," and "Inventory"). However, in natural language, employees and customers often use unofficial terms and acronyms unique to each business which are not known by LLMs, databases, or other systems of record. In the latest release of MicroStrategy AI, customers can now describe these terms in common language to enrich the Semantic Graph with new knowledge assets. This allows Auto to effectively interpret free-form user queries within the context of a particular business.

Auto Express

With the Auto Express 30-day trial, anyone can explore MicroStrategy's AI capabilities, building custom Auto bots and creating Auto-powered dashboards, without any commercial commitment. This self-service environment includes a variety of test data samples and educational courses that allow users to learn about the unique advantages of MicroStrategy’s AI+BI platform. Users can also upload their own data sets and share their custom Auto bots and dashboards with colleagues.

Additional Enhancements

  • Data Summary: Users can easily view and use data sets available within the Auto bot
  • Auto on Mobile: Run the bot as a stand-alone mobile app
  • Auto API: Connect any application to MicroStrategy’s AI capabilities via API

“With Auto, we’ve injected AI throughout our MicroStrategy ONE native cloud platform, making enterprise analytics much more convenient, reliable, and flexible, even for the most complex analytics use cases,” said Saurabh Abhyankar, Chief Product Officer at MicroStrategy. “In this release, we’ve amped up AI transparency and data agility, creating simple, automated experiences that allow any worker and every organization to benefit from fast, data-driven decision making.”
