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.

Francisco Partners today announced that it has agreed to acquire Quorum Software (“Quorum” or the “Company”), a leading provider of energy software worldwide, from Thoma Bravo.

For over 20 years, Quorum has been a leading software provider for digital transformation in the energy industry, powering growth and profitability for energy operators by connecting people, workflows, and systems with decision-ready data. The Company serves as a trusted partner to energy customers who rely on its expertise and applications to successfully navigate the energy transition and deliver value across upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. Quorum today serves over 1,500 customers, ranging from emerging operators to global supermajors and NOCs, across 50 energy producing countries. This transaction will position Quorum to capitalize on the momentum in global energy markets and increased demand for its platform.

"We are thrilled to join forces with Francisco Partners at this time of great opportunity for our platform, our customers, and our sector,” said Paul Langenbahn, CEO of Quorum. “We have undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years and, with Thoma Bravo’s support, successfully navigated a changing global market with a laser focus on delivering for our valued customers while driving long-term profitable growth. We look forward to working alongside Francisco Partners to further strengthen our platform and to continue providing our customers with world-class software and services for years to come.”

Together, we intend to build on Quorum’s strong foundation and grow their platform and customer base through both organic investment and strategic acquisitions.”

Quorum grew exponentially under Thoma Bravo’s ownership, completing several strategic deals, including a merger with Aucerna and a carve-out of Energy Components, to cement its position as the largest global energy software provider with the broadest portfolio of solutions across the energy value chain.

“It has been a pleasure working with the Quorum team to build an industry-leading platform,” said Scott Crabill, a Managing Partner at Thoma Bravo. “Together, we executed several truly transformative operating and strategic initiatives to advance their vision and achieve their potential, and we have been extremely impressed by their team’s tenacity and ambition. We look forward to following Quorum’s continued success during its next stage of growth.”
