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.

In partnership with QGenda’s founder and CEO, Greg Benoit, and the QGenda management team, Francisco Partners closely supported the company’s organic and inorganic growth as it broadened its product suite beyond physician scheduling to include capacity management, credentialing, and scheduling solutions for nurse, staff, and on-call use cases.

Greg Benoit said, “Every technology founder should aim to partner with Francisco Partners. They are the gold standard, and I’m thrilled that I chose to partner with them 8 years ago. Ezra, Justin and the whole Francisco Partners team have been instrumental in providing strategic advice and guidance, supporting our acquisition efforts, and driving our mission to deliver transformative technology to healthcare providers. It is bittersweet that our journey with Francisco Partners is ending, but we are excited about the future chapter of transformation and growth as part of Hearst.”

Ezra Perlman, Co-President at Francisco Partners, said, “Throughout our partnership with Greg and QGenda, it has been rewarding to support the company’s growth and innovative approach to solving some of healthcare’s most important challenges. We have been especially proud of the impact that QGenda has had on its customers including hospitals and health systems, helping them manage their workforce and more effectively deploy caregivers across every care setting. QGenda’s relentless customer focus and high-quality service has delivered exceptional growth.”

Justin Chen, Partner at Francisco Partners, added, “QGenda has been at the forefront of delivering mission critical and innovative healthcare solutions that improve the workflows of physicians, nurses and staff. The company is in a tremendous position, and we wish the team continued success as part of Hearst. We are grateful to have been part of the QGenda journey and partners to the management team.”

The company, including its leadership team and approximately 650 employees, will become part of Hearst Health, Hearst’s healthcare division, where it will continue to invest and expand its healthcare workforce management suite, enhancing the value it provides to its customers and providers.
