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.

Providers Help U.S. Firms Bring Applications into AI Era

By: via Business Wire

Companies form broader partnerships to turn application development, maintenance into engines of innovation, competitiveness, ISG Provider Lens® report says

U.S. enterprises are changing the way they carry out application development and maintenance (ADM), including closer engagement with service providers, as AI opens up new possibilities for efficiency and agility, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® AI-Driven ADM Services report for the U.S. finds that organizations are embedding AI and automation into every layer of ADM operations to make applications more resilient and adaptable to new requirements. As they adopt this approach, they are seeking outcome-focused contracts with service providers that tie performance to measurable results such as faster release cycles, higher system availability and improved user satisfaction.

“AI is reshaping how U.S. enterprises develop, manage and modernize applications,” said Shafqat Azim, ISG partner and Americas lead, Digital Transformation. “Organizations are transforming ADM from a reactive support model into a proactive function that directly supports business growth and innovation.”

Companies in the U.S. are enhancing the performance and reliability of ADM workflows with AI-based observability, predictive analytics and automation, the report says. AI-enabled platforms automate performance tracking, business metric monitoring and incident prediction and response in real time. These capabilities significantly reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) and improve adherence to service-level agreements (SLAs). Companies in regulated sectors such as healthcare and financial services are adopting these tools to maintain compliance while improving uptime and user experience.

These trends are also redefining how U.S. organizations approach legacy systems, ISG says. Enterprises are using AI-assisted code analysis and refactoring to streamline application modernization projects, enabling faster migration to cloud-native and microservices architectures. They increasingly use GenAI for reverse engineering, test case generation and documentation, helping teams finish transformation projects faster while improving quality.

Application quality assurance (QA) is becoming a critical piece of the new approach to ADM, the report says. Enterprises are replacing static QA processes with continuous testing and AI-driven quality engineering (QE) frameworks. Automated test creation, self-healing scripts and cognitive QA ensure that applications stay consistent and reliable throughout rapid release cycles. Domain-specific QA tools are gaining momentum as enterprises in sectors such as banking, retail and healthcare test applications for compliance and customer experience.

“U.S. enterprises expect ADM services to deliver continuous innovation, resilience, and measurable value,” said Akhila Harinarayan, manager and principal analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. “By applying AI across the ADM lifecycle, providers are helping clients achieve faster modernization, improved reliability and a sharper competitive edge.”

The report also explores other ADM trends in the U.S., including the growing role of hyperautomation and AI for operations (AIOps) in application management and the rise of intelligent DevSecOps frameworks for proactive governance and compliance.

For more insights into the ADM-related challenges faced by enterprises in the U.S., plus ISG’s advice for overcoming them, see the ISG Provider Lens® Focal Points briefing here.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® AI-Driven ADM Services report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 53 providers across six quadrants: Application Development Outsourcing, Application Development Projects, Application Managed Services - Global SIs, Application Managed Services - Local SIs, Application Quality Assurance and Continuous Testing Specialists.

The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Coforge, Cognizant, Deloitte, HCLTech, Hexaware, IBM, Infosys, TCS and UST as Leaders in three quadrants each. It names Apexon, Hitachi Digital Services, HTC Global Services, Infinite Computer Solutions and Wipro as Leaders in two quadrants each. Atos, Birlasoft, Persistent Systems, Sutherland and Tech Mahindra are named as Leaders in one quadrant each.

In addition, DXC Technology, HTC Global Services, ITC Infotech, NTT DATA, Qualitest, TestingXperts and Unisys are recognized as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in one quadrant each.

In the area of customer experience, LTIMindtree is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among AI-driven ADM Services 2025 providers. LTIMindtree 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.

Customized versions of the report are available from Birlasoft and Capgemini.
