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.

InvoiceCloud and Harris Systems & Software Celebrate 10-Year Alliance Serving Local Governments and Utilities

InvoiceCloud, a leading solution for digital bill payment services, and Systems & Software (S&S), a leading provider of utility management solutions and a Harris Computer subsidiary, announced significant customer milestones as a result of a 10-year collaboration. InvoiceCloud serves nearly 70% of System & Software’s local government and utility customers.

“Our integration with InvoiceCloud’s SaaS solution gives our utility customers the tools and support needed to provide their bill payers with easier, more intuitive self-service payment options,” said Julie Hextell, Executive VP of Systems & Software at Harris. “We’re not only helping our customers meet their bottom lines, but also helping exceed customer expectations by making the payment experience easier than ever for a diverse customer base whose comfort paying bills online varies dramatically.”

Key benefits of the strategic relationship have included helping many mutual local government utility customers:

  • Increase their Customer Satisfaction via modernized, easy-to-use payments that help make life easier for joint customers.
  • Improve their Operational Efficiency via increased numbers of self-service including digital payment adoption, paperless enrollment, and AutoPay.
  • Increase their Employee Satisfaction via reduced manual processes and simplified internal workflows.

“At InvoiceCloud, our focus on accelerating on-time payments and lowering costs for billers is only possible by ensuring everyone can pay bills when and how they want,” said Kevin O’Brien, CEO of InvoiceCloud. “For nearly 10 years, we have partnered with S&S to drive digital adoption for utilities and deliver a best-in-class payment experience to a range of communities.”

Many InvoiceCloud and S&S customers, including those highlighted below, have seen significant increases in total digital adoption, paperless enrollment, and AutoPay adoption after going live on the InvoiceCloud – S&S integrated solution. Multiple utilities using the joint platform have also reported seeing an increase in on-time payments as a result of smart, dynamic communications and reductions in Days Sales Outstanding.

The following customer success stories illustrate the impact of the joint InvoiceCloud and S&S solution:

  • DeKalb County, GA
    • In the first six months following a go-live with InvoiceCloud and S&S in January 2024, DeKalb County, GA saw 27% total digital adoption, a 127% increase in paperless enrollment, and a 73% increase in AutoPay adoption.
