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.

Guidewire Congratulates Winners of Inaugural DEVHack Virtual Hackathon

Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) congratulates the winners of DEVHack 2024, Guidewire’s inaugural virtual hackathon designed to engage the largest network of developers in the P&C insurance industry in leveraging their excellence to solve real business challenges. The event was exclusively sponsored by Guidewire PartnerConnect Solution Alliance partner and preferred cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS). The 2024 winners are:

First Place: Team “Hacker Space” from EY for its AI-based product rationalization solution.

Second Place: Team “Sustainability for Survival” from Capgemini for its Sustainable Auto (Drive Greener) solution.

Third Place: Team “Acinivoyage” from Acini for its Automated Flight Travel Disruption Claims Processing solution.

Also included among the five finalists and awarded “Runner Up” were Team “Xclaim Wizards” from GFT and Team “From Italy with Code” from FINCONS. To view the demo videos from all five finalists and learn more about the award-winning projects, visit Guidewire’s Developer website.

“Congratulations to the winning teams of our first-ever DEVHack and a heartfelt thank you to all applicants and participants,” said Michael Howe, Chief Product Officer, Guidewire. “This hackathon, alongside our DEVSummit, has served to unite and celebrate the global Guidewire developer community sharing our mission to better the P&C insurance industry. The top-tier skills, rich experience, and profound passion demonstrated through this hackathon were a delight to witness. Additionally, AWS’ partnership and support of both programs were instrumental for enabling these examples of developer innovation via Guidewire Cloud.”

From the more than 130 team applications submitted, only 25 teams were selected to compete in the hackathon. From March 8 to April 1, 2024, these teams worked tirelessly to build their solutions, leveraging a developer environment provisioned with InsuranceSuite utilizing the Innsbruck release of Guidewire Cloud Platform. Once the solutions were submitted, complete with a video demo and written report, a panel of judges scored each submission. The top five submissions were announced as finalists on April 24, 2024 at the Guidewire DEVSummit in Bengaluru, India.

Public voting to crown a winner from the five finalists ran for 20 hours with 5,622 votes cast. First, second, and third place winners were decided using a combination of judges scores and public votes. Winners were announced live at the closing of Guidewire DEVSummit on April 25, 2024.
