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.

Independent Study Reveals Marketers Must Orient Around Customer Value to Win in The Era of AI

By: via Business Wire

A commissioned study, conducted on behalf of Zeta Global, finds that most organizations track customer lifetime value (CLV), but few apply it to their marketing strategies and tactics

Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-powered marketing cloud, today published a Forrester Consulting Opportunity Snapshot, “Marketers Must Shift Their Understanding of Customer Value to be Forward-Looking.” The study, which was completed in February 2024 and captured insights from customer engagement strategy decision-makers in the US and UK, was commissioned by Zeta to examine how marketers currently assess and apply CLV and identify the changes needed to foster a more predictive and holistic approach in the era of Generative AI.

The Forrester study revealed that most organizations track CLV, but very few use the key metric in setting strategy, making investment decisions, and personalizing experiences across the customer lifecycle. This disconnect points to a critical gap in how data is collected and leveraged to inform forward-looking decisions that drive customer engagement and business growth.

"This study highlights a fundamental problem with digital marketing as it has been practiced for the past 20 years: the slow movement of data leading to a KPI dashboard that is backward-looking,” said David Steinberg, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta Global. “AI represents a new era in computing, and Generative AI will be the cornerstone of modern marketing strategies for those who can capitalize on data integrity, sophistication and speed. AI-powered models can shift CLV from the rear-view mirror to the windshield, empowering marketers to deliver more relevant consumer experiences and drive greater returns from their marketing investments.”

The findings emphasize that the future of effective marketing lies in the ability to predict and shape consumer attitudes.

Key findings from the study include:

  • Few apply CLV metrics to customer strategy: Though 81% of respondents’ organizations have the ability to track CLV, only 37% actively apply it to their strategy and just 14% are maximizing the value of their CLV metrics in marketing investment and execution.
  • CLV and profit margin metrics are expected to increase in priority: Organizations are increasingly prioritizing CLV and revenue per customer ahead of transactional vanity metrics that only provide a historic snapshot of customer behavior.
  • Technology integration and alignment is essential: 83% of respondents point to the importance of Martech ecosystem alignment to drive business success.
  • Departmental alignment is also imperative: On average, only 19% of respondents said their organization is fully aligned across functions. Marketers were least aligned with data science and analytics departments.
  • Marketing must focus on predictive value to maximize ROI and optimize experiences: 53% of respondents anticipate that marketing will have more influence on business strategy, and be more effective, as more businesses apply forward-looking profit metrics to their customer value strategy.
