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.

Conduent Introduces Conni, the New GenAI Virtual Assistant for Companies and Government Agencies

Conni will be integrated into multiple Conduent platforms to boost clients’ productivity, enhance quality, and elevate customer experience

Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global leader in technology-driven business solutions and services, launches Conni, an innovative GenAI virtual assistant developed as part of the company's AI initiative. Leveraging Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service, Conni is designed to enhance the quality of results and improve customer experience across Conduent platforms for companies and government agencies.

“We will continue to embed AI and generative AI within our solutions to drive functionality. New features like Conni build on Conduent’s strategy of integrating advanced technologies, such as automation, machine learning, and digitalization to drive better outcomes for our clients,” said Cliff Skelton, President and Chief Executive Officer at Conduent. “In our Human Capital Solutions business, Conni is deployed to help employees navigate their benefits. By enhancing the employee experience, Conni can drive improved satisfaction and help reduce HR-related inquiries.”

The first implementation of Conni is in Conduent’s Life@Work® Connect Experience Platform, a secure closed system, centralized portal for health, wealth, and wellness employee benefits. Life@Work Connect, with its suite of advanced AI-driven features like JellyVision and TALON, consolidates data from various sources, offering interactive content, educational resources and guided recommendations to help employees manage their benefits with a personalized, intelligent experience.

With Conni in Life@Work Connect, employees can:

  • Use natural, everyday language, avoiding the technical jargon.
  • Get fast, accurate personalized answers to specific questions about their health and wealth benefits and supplemental benefits.
  • Easily navigate to resources and transactions for life events, health savings accounts, flexible savings accounts, and other benefits.
  • Access personalized data and employer program details to make informed decisions.
  • Use information from all resources on the Life@Work Connect Experience Platform.
  • Seamlessly transition to live customer support when needed.

DeeAnna Warrington, Principal Research Analyst at NelsonHall and a member of its HR Talent Transformation practice said, “By incorporating generative AI into its client offerings and internal operations, Conduent continues its tradition of delivering advanced technologies and solutions that boost client efficiency, reduce costs, enhance customer experiences, and optimize business processes.”

As an example of how Conni works, in a use case such as an injury requiring physical therapy, Conni can answer questions like, “Where is the best place for physical therapy near me?” and “How much money is in my health savings account to pay for treatment?” Conni uses the employee-specific coverage and elections along with the information available through the health plan to guide the employee and provide fast answers.
