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. Firms Seize Power of Data With Advanced Analytics

By: via Business Wire

New, AI-enabled tools and approaches spark aggressive investments to improve insights and decision-making, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Enterprises in the U.S. are making major investments in analytics and AI to fully realize their data’s potential, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Advanced Analytics and AI Services report for the U.S. finds that AI is turning analytics into a more powerful tool for data science and an enabler of business transformation. U.S. enterprise investments in AI, along with cloud technologies and more flexible data architectures, are directly aligned with strategic business goals.

“Companies can unlock deeper insights and drive significant business value when their data is accessible and integrated into operations,” said Kathy Rudy, chief data and analytics officer at ISG. “Service providers play a crucial role in making this possible.”

Enterprises in the U.S. are at the forefront of adopting augmented analytics, which uses AI and ML to automatically identify insights, trends and patterns in data without manual intervention, ISG says. Such systems provide data discovery, predictive analytics and natural-language processing (NLP) to help companies more quickly acquire useful insights into their business. Generative AI, likewise, is expected to expand the ability to generate advanced insights at scale.

The U.S. is also a leading region in the democratization of data, a full-fledged trend toward making data accessible to a broad range of users in an organization, the report says. Using self-service analytics platforms, low-code/no-code tools and user-friendly dashboards, U.S. enterprises empower non-technical users without specialized skills to analyze and use data — often by making simple queries through NLP.

Many organizations in the U.S. are using embedded analytics, an increasingly popular approach that makes data analysis a part of everyday business processes rather than a separate task, ISG says. This allows employees to make informed decisions within their usual workflows instead of switching to other systems or tools.

Enterprises in the U.S., especially large ones, are adopting data mesh architectures to make data available across organizations without taking away departmental control, the report says. Rather than centralizing all information in one data warehouse or lake, these companies are creating smaller repositories that are widely accessible but controlled by local departments, complying with governance regulations.

“The drive for data modernization is coming from enterprises that recognize the need for a solid data strategy and foundation to fully utilize AI,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Providers can meet their needs with solutions that integrate AI with data science and business intelligence.”

The report also explores other data analytics trends in the U.S., including the growing popularity of data warehouse as a service (DWaaS) and of metadata-driven architectures that give companies a clearer picture of their data assets.

For more insights into the analytics challenges facing U.S. enterprises, including inadequate real-time analytics or comprehensive views of customer intelligence, plus ISG’s advice for addressing those challenges, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Advanced Analytics and AI Services report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 77 providers across three quadrants: Data Science and AI Services, Data Modernization Services, and Advanced BI and Reporting Modernization Services. Within each quadrant, the evaluated providers are divided into three segments based on size: Large, Midsize and Specialist.

Among Large providers, the report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, Genpact, HCLTech, Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra and Wipro as Leaders in all three quadrants.

In addition, NTT DATA is named as a Rising Star — a company with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in all three quadrants.

Among Midsize providers, Apexon, Encora, EXL, HARMAN, Hexaware, Innova Solutions, Mphasis, Persistent Systems, Stefanini, Unisys, UST and Virtusa are named as Leaders in all three quadrants. HTC Global Services is named as a Leader in two quadrants, and Brillio is named as a Leader in one quadrant.

In addition, ITC Infotech is named as a Rising Star in two quadrants and HTC Global Services is named as a Rising Star in one quadrant.

Among Specialist providers, Fractal Analytics, Lingaro, MathCo, Quantiphi, Tiger Analytics, Tredence and WNS Analytics are named as Leaders in all three quadrants. Evalueserve and Impetus Technologies are named Leaders in one quadrant.

In addition, Sigmoid is named as a Rising Star in all three quadrants.

In the area of customer experience, DXC Technology is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2024 among advanced analytics and AI providers. DXC Technology earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.
