About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

8x8 JourneyIQ Empowers Businesses to Evaluate and Manage Customer Interactions from Start to Finish and Eliminate Blind Spots Across the Entire Customer Journey

8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), the industry's most integrated Platform for CX that combines Contact Center, Unified Communication, and CPaaS APIs, today announced 8x8 JourneyIQ, giving businesses the ability to seamlessly track, predict, and optimize every step of the customer journey across all channels, departments, and touchpoints. 8x8 JourneyIQ is the latest solution powered by the 8x8 Customer Interaction Data Initiative, delivering real-time AI-powered customer journey intelligence that eliminates blind spots and identifies points of friction, enabling CX leaders to proactively streamline workflows, unlocking the potential of every interaction and ensuring seamless, impactful experiences to drive CX metrics across the entire organization.

“Businesses often complain about having too much data but no way to synthesize the information into actionable intelligence. Customers find themselves interacting with multiple departments across an organization but typically these individual moments are not combined to provide a complete picture of the journey in order to identify opportunities for improvement,” said Sheila McGee-Smith, founder and principal analyst at McGee-Smith Analytics. “8x8 JourneyIQ allows organizations to cut through all the complexity and unify every customer touchpoint, both inside and outside of the contact center, to provide a single, real-time view. It’s no longer enough to react after a poor customer experience, organizations need the intelligence and ability to proactively identify and prevent issues to transform the customer journey.”

It also supports API integration, allowing businesses to enrich external analytics and business intelligence platforms with JourneyIQ’s insights, providing one cohesive source of truth.
  • Real-time, AI-driven decision making: Leverages advanced AI to identify customer friction points and take proactive measures before CX metrics take a hit. Using 8x8 JourneyIQ, Supervisors and CX leaders can take immediate action based on sentiment analysis, performance trends, and conversation summaries—removing the need for slow, manual reporting and ensuring proactive issue resolution.
  • Intelligent orchestration: 8x8 JourneyIQ identifies end to end orchestration opportunities and delivers insights, eliminating unnecessary escalations and handoffs, helping businesses reduce operational costs, speed up resolutions, and deliver consistent, high-quality experiences across the entire organization.
