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.

Intuit to Acquire Technology from Zendrive

Transaction will enable Intuit Credit Karma to accelerate Karma Drive and help members save on auto insurance

Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire technology from leading mobility risk intelligence provider Zendrive. Certain Zendrive employees, including CEO Dennis Ellis and Co-founder and CTO Pankaj Risbood, will join Credit Karma to accelerate innovation and adoption of its usage-based auto insurance product, Karma Drive.

Credit Karma members can choose to participate in a trial where they receive real-time feedback on their driving and can view potential discounts before purchasing a policy, all powered by telematics. Bringing discount opportunities to the front of the insurance shopping experience, before members purchase a policy, gives them more choice and certainty as to what they will pay, while incentivizing them to become safer drivers – always done transparently, with a member’s consent. Karma Drive’s telematics-driven model has yielded more than 4 million discounted policy offers for Credit Karma members, and has the potential to give carriers better visibility, with member consent, into driving behaviors that are more predictive of driving risk than traditional attributes, such as a driver’s credit score.

“Insurance costs have increased dramatically, and Americans are looking for ways to minimize driving expenses in this high-inflation environment,” said Joe Kauffman, president of Credit Karma. “Karma Drive gives our members access to personalized discount offers based on safe driving habits, without first having to purchase a policy. With Zendrive's technology and expertise, we strive to make usage-based auto insurance more accessible than ever and bring more transparency, fairness, and accuracy to consumer auto insurance pricing, while providing insight into their driving behaviors.”

Credit Karma has partnered with Zendrive since it launched Karma Drive more than three years ago. To date, Karma Drive has enrolled more than 6 million members in the program.

“Zendrive's mission is to make roads safer with data and analytics, and we pride ourselves on delivering experiences that help create awareness for safe driving habits,” said Dennis Ellis, CEO of Zendrive. “Intuit’s customer-obsessed culture is a perfect match for our team. Together we will democratize access to fair insurance for all Americans based on their driving habits, not their financial situation.”

Intuit’s mission is to power prosperity around the world and the company has committed to a Bold Goal of doubling the household savings rate of customers by 2030. Americans want to minimize driving expenses in this high-inflation environment, and this transaction deepens Intuit’s insurance investment to help Credit Karma members save big on insurance.

Intuit expects to close the transaction in Q4 FY24. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
