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.

ISG to Publish Reports on Advanced Analytics, AI Services

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will evaluate providers of data analytics and AI services that help enterprises improve operations, decision-making and competitiveness

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers of advanced data analytics and AI services that enhance data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency and competitive advantage for enterprises.

The study results will be published in a comprehensive series of ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Advanced Analytics and AI Services, scheduled to be released in January 2025. Three geographically focused reports will evaluate providers of data science and AI services, data modernization services, and advanced business intelligence (BI) and reporting modernization services.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

The importance of analytics and AI services continues to grow, fueled by technological advances such as generative AI (GenAI). These capabilities require stronger data foundations, as quality, integrity and comprehensiveness of data are crucial for producing meaningful and accurate outputs, ISG says.

“The analytics services market has become a cornerstone of modern business strategy,” said Namratha Dharshan, chief business leader, ISG Research. “The demand for clean, secure data, coupled with compelling data storytelling and visuals, is increasing as enterprises seek actionable insights.”

ISG notes the shift toward augmented analytics is expanding the scope of data democratization within enterprises, fostering a data-driven culture and fueling greater innovation and agility.

A surge in data volumes driven by the adoption of cloud and IoT devices is increasing the need to modernize data infrastructures to meet heightened regulatory and compliance requirements, ISG says. Modern data architectures are minimizing the impact of data silos, promoting data lineage and governance and presenting opportunities for data democratization and monetization.

For their part, providers are constantly innovating and developing frameworks, accelerators, simulation models and customizable AI solutions to automate insights generation. They are emphasizing model monitoring and development through emerging techniques such as AutoML, MLOps and TinyML, making AI more integrated and efficient within business workflows.

For this study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 190 advanced analytics and AI services providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce three quadrants representing the services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:

  • Data Science and AI Services, covering providers of advisory and systems integration services that leverage scientific methods and business context, including expertise in a client’s industry, to resolve critical business challenges and create new revenue models and business streams. Services include consulting, identifying use cases, developing statistical models and algorithms, and architecting, implementing and deploying systems and training for enterprise-wide AI adoption.
  • Data Modernization Services, assessing providers offering end-to-end services, from data migration to data management, that transform legacy systems into modern, cloud-based platforms. Providers should offer comprehensive consulting services; have the ability to design scalable data architectures, analyze data landscapes, develop business cases and manage data lifecycles; and demonstrate expertise in building data pipelines, establishing modern data lakes and warehouses, and streamlining data delivery through DataOps.
  • Advanced BI and Reporting Modernization Services, evaluating providers employing sophisticated approaches to transforming raw data into actionable insights. They should excel in managing large amounts of data, integrating multiple data sources, and delivering real-time, dynamic reporting through interactive dashboards and customized reports tailored to various stakeholders’ needs.

The study will examine products and services available globally and in Brazil, Europe and the U.S. ISG analysts Marcio Tabach (Brazil) and Gowtham Kumar (Europe and U.S.) will serve as authors of the reports.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on this study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as advanced analytics and AI services providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged to register here to receive a personalized survey URL. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.
