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.

U.S. Bank introduces automated, end-to-end supplier accounts receivable platform

Advanced Receivables transforms the payment process for suppliers to reduce costs, improve payment experiences and accelerate cash flow

U.S. Bank today introduced a comprehensive accounts receivable (AR) platform to help suppliers accelerate cash flow, cut costs through automation and deliver better payment experiences. Created in partnership with Billtrust, U.S. Bank Advanced Receivables brings together the bank’s leading payment and risk management capabilities with Billtrust’s top AR technology to improve the intricate business-to-business (B2B) receivables process.

“Suppliers face many challenges from the time they receive an order until the cash is in their account. This includes numerous manual and paper-based steps, a cumbersome credit process, billing errors and payment delays,” said Alberto Casas, head of product for U.S. Bank Global Treasury Management. “With U.S. Bank Advanced Receivables, businesses can transform their entire receivables process to drive down costs and gain real-time visibility into their financial position and cash flow.”

The introduction of U.S. Bank Advanced Receivables comes as senior finance leaders increase their focus on operational efficiency. The latest U.S. Bank CFO Insights Report found that the top priority for U.S. corporate finance leaders is cutting costs within the finance function. The survey of more than 2,000 finance leaders found that they are prioritizing technology investments as the primary solution for driving down costs.

U.S. Bank Advanced Receivables consists of five core solutions to modernize the entire receivables process:

  • Invoicing: Provides treasury teams and their buyers flexible and automated invoice delivery options that increase digital payments.
  • Payments: After a company’s terms are established, buyers are offered flexible, secure and convenient payment options, including payments via virtual credit cards and ACH.
  • Cash Application: With a seamless remittance process, suppliers achieve higher match rates and easier exception handling.
  • Collections: Optimizes collections with customized outreach approaches, automation of repetitive tasks and better cash forecasting.
  • Credit: The platform is designed for a more efficient way of extending credit to buyers. A customized, secure credit application process eliminates slow manual exchange of information and improves risk management.

U.S. Bank Advanced Receivables builds upon the bank’s complementary digital payment solutions designed to improve efficiencies for corporate finance functions. Since 2021, companies have utilized U.S. Bank AP Optimizer to automate their accounts payable processes, from invoice receipt to payment disbursement. With Advanced Receivables and AP Optimizer, U.S. Bank can now help companies digitize and automate their end-to-end B2B payment processes.

Billtrust is a leading provider of end-to-end accounts receivables solutions that help companies control their order-to-cash operations and empower data to boost their bottom lines. Billtrust’s seamless, integrated AR system streamlines invoicing, payment processing, cash application and collections, while providing needed insights into cash flow.
