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.

The Hackett Group: HR Leaders Rapidly Adopting Gen AI to Advance Human Capital Objectives

By: via Business Wire

New data shows 66% of HR teams use generative AI, but scaling is critical to transform service delivery, productivity and competitiveness

The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT), a leading Gen AI strategic consultancy and executive advisory firm, today announced findings from its 2025 Key Issues Study, revealing that human resources leaders are rapidly adopting generative AI (Gen AI) to advance human capital objectives. Sixty-six percent of human resources (HR) organizations are already using AI-powered tools in some capacity. Yet, HR workloads are set to rise by 10% in 2025 while budgets shrink by 1.5% and headcounts decline by 2%, creating a 12% productivity gap. AI-driven automation will be critical to closing this divide.

“Gen AI is not merely an option, it’s a strategic imperative for HR leaders looking to reimagine work and drive breakthrough business results,” said Jessica Haley, principal, Global Human Resources Executive Advisory Practice Leader at The Hackett Group. “Our research shows that by embracing AI, HR can transform service delivery and unlock significant competitive advantages.”

Where HR is deploying AI now – and where it’s headed

The Hackett Group’s research underscores the intention of HR teams to scale Gen AI adoption beyond initial learnings and pilots. Top areas in which organizations are poised for Gen AI expansion in 2025 include:

  • Talent acquisition – 52% use AI to write job descriptions, 39% have plans to implement it for resume screening.
  • Employee communications – 48% leverage AI to draft employee communications.
  • HR service delivery – 45% plan to leverage AI to answer common HR-related questions.
  • Learning and development – 29% plan to use AI for skills documentation and training assessments.

The HR mandate for 2025: Drive AI-led productivity gains

The productivity increases and capacity gains from shifting such work to Gen AI will allow HR organizations to bridge the growing productivity gap and open up additional capacity to focus on their top objectives for 2025.

In fact, about three-quarters (77%) of HR organizations have an initiative to leverage technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of HR services. Overall, HR leaders anticipate a 4.2% year-over-year increase in automation.

To accelerate Gen AI efforts, reimagine work and the workforce, and drive transformative value, The Hackett Group® recommends:

  • Ruthlessly prioritizing improvement projects based on importance, value, time to benefit and opportunity cost.
  • Investing in reskilling/upskilling HR team members, including data and AI literacy, to ensure readiness for organizational and job redesign.
  • Simplifying process and technology complexities that can stall progress.
  • Leading the reimagining and redesigning of talent management strategies.

AI can’t wait – neither can HR

HR leaders who move decisively on AI adoption will gain a critical competitive edge in workforce management, employee engagement and enterprise productivity.
