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.

Cost is Top Challenge to Achieving Enterprise Sustainability, ISG Study Finds

By: via Business Wire

Survey of global sustainability leaders finds enterprises plan to engage providers to fill ESG resource gaps

New survey research from leading global technology research and advisory firm Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III) finds cost is the biggest barrier to achieving enterprise sustainability goals, with more money spent on reporting and compliance than on digital programs that drive actual business benefits.

The ISG Market Lens™ Digital Sustainability Study asked more than 200 leaders worldwide to rank their organization’s top sustainability challenges. Cost is the top challenge, cited by 45 percent of respondents, followed by integrating sustainability into business metrics (34 percent), and prioritizing sustainability investments (31 percent).

Large enterprises are spending, on average, about 0.2 percent of revenues on sustainability initiatives, the study found. Half of that spending is on environmental initiatives and the remaining half is split almost equally between social and governance programs.

Digital sustainability—the use of information technology and associated services to improve the environmental and/or social sustainability of an organization—accounts for 35 percent of general enterprise sustainability spending, the study found.

Within the digital sustainability budget, 60 percent of respondents say spending on data and reporting solutions will account for the greatest proportion of their spending in 2024, followed by digital sustainability strategy services (51 percent) and industrial and operational optimization solutions (46 percent). The latter includes a broad array of digital, data-led solutions, ranging from software to sensors, that enterprises use to support informed decision-making and to prioritize sustainability investments.

“Companies plan to spend more on reporting and compliance this year than on any other area of digital sustainability,” said Michael Dornan, principal analyst and co-author of the study. “As with so many business domains, sustainability progress is limited by the ability to collect and analyze data. Enterprises need technology and business services providers to help report on their progress and benchmark their sustainability performance against others.”

The biggest reporting challenge, respondents say, is the accuracy of data, particularly for scope-three emissions (those produced by others in a company’s value chain). Compliance with climate-related financial disclosures is the greatest perceived enterprise reporting risk, the study shows.

Eighty-five percent of enterprises have engaged managed services providers to support overall sustainability programs, the study found, and 39 percent are using providers to run ESG-specific programs. The remainder are building sustainability goals into new and existing programs with providers or holding them accountable for meeting sustainability goals.

Around 60 percent of enterprises expect to engage a service provider for ESG data and reporting, and 45 percent expect to engage a provider for lower-priority initiatives such as end-user device optimization.

“There is a wide expectation that ESG-related partnerships with service providers will grow in 2024,” said Alex Bakker, ISG Distinguished Analyst and co-author of the study. “Three-quarters of our respondents say they have insufficient skills and resources to meet their ESG needs over the next two years and will rely on service providers to not only plug that gap but help them evolve ESG programs from a complex reporting exercise driven by regulation to a program that drives real value for the business."

The ISG Market Lens study was conducted globally in February 2024 and covered 232 executives with decision-making responsibility for sustainability strategy and operations covering environmental, social and governance programs.

ISG Market Lens buyer behavior studies combine findings from surveys of senior-level global executives with expert ISG research and analysis on market trends and strategic business initiatives. Recent studies explored AI, application development and maintenance , cost optimization, cybersecurity, global capability centers, network modernization, banking and the future workplace.
