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.

J.D. Power Acquires Superior Integrated Auctions (SIA) to Expand Used Vehicle Marketplace Capabilities

J.D. Power Marketplace Platform Combines Industry’s Most Accurate Valuation and Build Data With Advanced Online Auction Capabilities to Redefine Pre-Owned Inventory Management

J.D. Power, a global leader in data analytics, today announced the acquisition of Superior Integrated Auctions (SIA), a leader in modernizing vehicle remarketing. The acquisition brings together SIA’s advanced online auction marketplace capabilities with J.D. Power inventory, extensive vehicle valuation data, predictive analytics and digital marketing solutions to streamline pre-owned vehicle inventory management.

This new functionality will expand the J.D. Power MarketplaceSM, an electronic platform designed to revolutionize how dealers acquire pre-owned inventory by bringing the traditional auction process online, giving dealers access to more than 30,000 front-line ready vehicles at the click of a button. The platform also allows manufacturers, dealers, automobile finance companies, car rental companies and other industry stakeholders to create white-label online auctions and sales tools, thereby expanding access to thousands of front-line-ready vehicles available through J.D. Power.

“Inventory of high quality, front-line-ready, pre-owned vehicles is trending toward the lowest level in a decade, which is putting pressure on dealers to find vehicles when and where they need them without incurring huge upfront costs,” said Phillip Battista, president, dealership technologies and head of modern retailing at J.D. Power. “By adding SIA’s industry-leading auction platform to our existing J.D. Power Marketplace capabilities, we’re giving manufacturers, dealers and other key players the ability to take control of their inventory management process, bypassing expensive auction fees and cumbersome vehicle acquisition processes along the way.”

In addition to core online vehicle sales, auction and inventory capabilities, the J.D. Power Marketplace also includes J.D. Power industry-leading vehicle valuation data, which gives users the most accurate, up-to-the-minute information on average retail transaction value, high and low auction values and trending prices. The platform also leverages J.D. Power ChromeData software and technology which provides detailed build data containing options and features of each vehicle based on its individual vehicle identification number (VIN) and allows users to easily create digital marketing materials.

“By combining our strengths in digital sales and all aspects of vehicle data, we’re creating the ultimate one-stop shop for pre-owned inventory management,” said Jeremie Beckner, COO of Superior Integrated Auctions. “It’s an opportunity to keep working on an initiative that can address some serious pain points in the automobile industry.”

SIA’s senior leadership and all its employees will become part of the J.D. Power Marketplace team. Beckner will continue to lead the team as senior vice president of J.D. Power Marketplace, reporting to Battista.
