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.

“In today’s digital-first landscape, online collaboration is mission critical to get business done, and in an uncertain environment, you need more ways to engage and interact with customers and prospects to ensure you’re on the same page,” said Jim Abramson, Cvent Vice President of Product Management. “Given our expansive global network of more than 145,000 planners and nearly 340,000 hotels and venues across our Cvent ecosystem, we understand what time-strapped event professionals and resource-constrained hoteliers need to deliver bigger and better events. Collaborative, easy-to-use virtual event design technology has become an expectation among many event organizers, and our acquisition of Prismm illustrates that we’re continuing to invest to meet this demand, while helping hotels and venues simplify their event planning processes and maximize group business revenue.”

“Over the last 12 years, we have worked relentlessly to empower our customers to connect, collaborate, and transact across immersive virtual environments, and we’re proud to announce this next chapter as part of Cvent,” said Yaron Lipshitz, CEO of Prismm. “Combining our 3D design capabilities with Cvent's extensive network and industry expertise will empower event professionals and hoteliers to create unforgettable experiences and drive significant business growth.”

Benefits of immersive, interactive event design technology include:

  • For Hoteliers and Venue Operators
    • Streamlined Event Creation: Online diagramming tools that are accessible to all key stakeholders reduce planning time and increase event design accuracy.
    • Elevated Sales and Marketing: Dynamic 3D virtual tours allow prospects to explore every aspect of a property and meeting space from anywhere.
    • Improved Customization and Competitive Differentiation: Offering cutting-edge event design technology can set hoteliers apart from their competitors, while personalized virtual “walkthroughs” with branded elements help bring a prospect’s vision to life and leave a lasting impression.
  • For Event Professionals
    • Simplified Sourcing: When time and budgets are constrained, online diagramming tools accelerate and optimize the venue sourcing process via virtual site visits and accurate space visualization. This helps planners quickly identify which venues are best suited for their needs based on layout, capacity, and overall fit.
    • Enhanced Planning: Precision floor plans and templates enhance the ability to visualize layouts, seating arrangements, and decor, ensuring precise planning and execution. Planners can easily identify potential issues and adjust before the event, leading to a smoother and more successful experience.
  • For Both Hospitality and Event Professionals:
    • Improved Collaboration: Cloud-based diagramming enables real time collaboration with all stakeholders and decision-makers.
    • Seamless Communication: With advanced spatial design tools, planners can share detailed virtual representations of event spaces with clients, vendors, and stakeholders. This fosters better communication and simplifies decision making.

Nfluence Partners acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Prismm on the transaction.
