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.

Enterprise Spending on GenAI Expected to Rise 50% in 2025, as Focus Shifts From Efficiency to Expertise

By: via Business Wire

Enterprises expect a significant share of ROI on GenAI initiatives to come in 2025

A new research report from Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, projects enterprise spending on generative AI (GenAI) will rise by 50 percent in the coming year, as companies shift their focus from efficiency to augmenting human expertise.

ISG will present the findings of its ISG State of Applied Generative AI Market report here today at the 2024 ISG Sourcing Industry Conference (SIC), the industry’s premier annual event for service and technology providers. The second annual report details GenAI trends, use cases, solutions and challenges, and offers data-driven insights and a roadmap for adopting GenAI at scale.

While GenAI is being tested and used in many business domains, the most well-funded use cases are focused on driving value for customer-facing work. The study shows efficiency, in the form of saving time and driving faster resolutions, is the primary enterprise motivation for implementing GenAI, followed by business growth, cost savings, customer service and innovation.

To achieve those efficiencies, 28 percent of companies say they are applying GenAI to customer service chatbots, with other top uses being business process workflow management (21 percent), customer service support (19 percent) and contact center management and monitoring (15 percent).

“Enterprises are currently using GenAI to make their processes and workflows faster,” said Steve Hall, chief AI officer, ISG. “In 2025, users will increasingly look to GenAI to augment human expertise, drawing on its immense ability to mine data for information they can use in functions including compliance, forecasting, market research, supply chain planning and software development.”

The study predicts enterprise spending on GenAI initiatives will increase by 50 percent in 2025, as companies expect to achieve a greater share of their return on investment (ROI) in the technology in the coming year. For instance, 17 percent of organizations expect to capture efficiency ROI in 2024, while more than three times as many – 54 percent – expect efficiency ROI in 2025. Similarly, 18 percent expect customer service ROI in 2024, rising to 58 percent in 2025. The research results showed similar jumps in expected ROI for innovation, cost savings and business growth.

The biggest portion of enterprises that are exploring GenAI (43 percent) are currently in the live pilot or trial stage. Eight percent of enterprises are still evaluating tools and providers, 7 percent are in the testing phase, 27 percent are moving towards full production and 15 percent are fully in production.

“Enterprises want significant, large-scale wins from GenAI rather than numerous minor victories. Despite promising results from pilot projects, the size of these efforts is often marginal,” Hall said. “AI tools are currently deployed with a ‘human in the loop’ to manage and validate output before it is delivered to customers. This is an important quality control measure, but it limits the ability of enterprises to scale GenAI and realize meaningful return on investment.”

While the ability to operate GenAI without the constraints of humans in the loop would open the door to returns that scale in a non-linear way and to investments in applications that focus on growth and new products, Hall said enterprises are taking a safe, liability-limiting approach to GenAI for now.

“We expect enterprises will continue to diversify GenAI usage across human-in-the-loop use cases and embrace AI-driven services that incorporate efficiency improvements,” Hall said. “Over the longer term, enterprises will need to make further technical progress and better understand the associated risks before they begin trying use cases with greater scale and ROI.”

Additional information on the ISG State of Applied Generative AI Market report is available on the ISG website.
