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.

Aderant Launches viAllocate, Innovative Solution That Solves Work Allocation Challenges for Law Firms

Trailblazing technology ensures the right people are assigned to the right matters at the right time

Aderant, a leading global provider of legal business management solutions, has launched viAllocate, a new solution that helps law firms maximize billable utilization, balance associate workloads, and improve operational efficiency and profitability.

This new solution, the latest in a series of innovative launches by Aderant, is specifically designed to tackle challenges law firms face related to allocation of work. These challenges include inefficient workload distribution, manual processes prone to errors and biases, and limited associate metadata. Collectively, this can lead to inefficiencies in utilization, slower processes, suboptimal outcomes, employee burnout, increased attrition, and even significant negative impacts on profitability.

With viAllocate, law firms can now solve these issues by automating lawyer availability and skill tracking, and by easing the process of finding lawyers with the capacity and required expertise for each matter.

“Aderant is thrilled to introduce viAllocate, a groundbreaking solution that improves the outcomes of a highly consequential process at law firms,” said Chris Cartrett, President and CEO at Aderant. “Following our acquisition of viGlobal in 2022, we have been committed to continuous innovation that helps law firms attract, develop, and retain talent. This release is a crucial step forward towards that mission.”

Law firms using viAllocate will also be able to:

  • Improve profitability by optimizing delivery and inventory control.
  • Enhance associate development to support top performers, maximize billable hours, and retain the best legal talent.
  • Deliver better experiences and outcomes for clients, partners, and employees.
  • Capture rich data on relevant skills and experiences in all matter assignments.
  • Access utilization tracking & reporting with a configurable, user-friendly dashboard view.
  • Leverage intelligent search, filter, and side-by-side comparison tools for finding the best associates to staff matters.
  • View a comprehensive data library featuring imported staffing profiles and associate self-reporting capabilities.

“Using viAllocate, work allocators can filter and compare associates by skills, experience, and other criteria to inform new matter assignments,” said Doug Matthews, Chief Product Officer at Aderant. “Allocators can also forecast upcoming availability, track utilization rates, and report on workload trends. viAllocate helps firms prevent both underutilization and burnout, common issues that can lead to attrition. Firms can leverage this technology to support associate development, maximize billable hours, and accelerate revenue growth.”

Learn more about viAllocate and how law firms can put the right people on the right matters at the right time. Aderant will be demonstrating viAllocate at ILTACON 2024 this week in Nashville (booth# 235).
