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.

U.S. Firms Embrace AI to Accelerate Digital Engineering

By: via Business Wire

Companies look to GenAI, agentic AI for streamlined product, service development as providers begin to offer early use cases, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Enterprises in the U.S. are applying generative and agentic AI to all aspects of digital engineering, seeking more efficient product development and faster time to market, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ Digital Engineering Services report for the U.S. finds that companies recognize AI’s potential to streamline engineering tasks, including design, simulation, testing, operations and field services. AI-enabled digital engineering is triggering significant change in a wide range of industries, including chip design, life sciences, consumer products, precision manufacturing and financial services. The U.S. is fertile ground for AI adoption due to its digital maturity and entrepreneurial culture, and there is growing demand for services to support this transition.

“Digital design and engineering can be completely transformed with GenAI,” said Matteo Gallina, ISG digital engineering solutions lead. “Companies in the U.S. are hungry for services to help them realize that potential.”

Successful AI implementations can reduce costs, workforce requirements and development time, ISG says. For example, GenAI can create millions of possible product designs, replacing slow and costly development with rapid processes that reduce time to market. However, enterprises are demanding proven use cases for the technology, which few service providers can offer yet.

Much of the demand for AI services in the U.S. comes from fields where AI integration requires deep industry knowledge, ISG says. For example, in manufacturing processes such as chip lithography, AI could enable companies to identify failures in complex manufacturing equipment. AI models can be quickly trained on an almost unlimited amount of specialized domain knowledge. However, demand for vertical expertise by providers in this area still outstrips supply.

AI is also accelerating research and development and service delivery in pharmaceuticals, healthcare and life sciences, the report says. Agentic AI systems can autonomously analyze vast datasets to identify potential drug candidates and optimize clinical trial designs, reducing costs and bringing new therapies to market more quickly.

AI-powered digital engineering is also helping U.S. enterprises develop and deliver consumer services in collaboration with providers, ISG says. Companies are demanding implementations that comply with regulations and do not increase risk. For example, if a bank uses a GenAI tool to develop a loan approval bot, the bot’s actions need to be explainable, or the bank could be liable to lawsuits over issues such as discrimination. Privacy and data security are also significant concerns.

“AI lets companies reimagine customer experience design to personalize experiences at scale,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Leading service providers can help clients develop AI engineering tools that meet evolving requirements.”

The report also explores other digital engineering trends affecting U.S. enterprises, including the importance of data quality and availability and rising concerns over the energy consumption of AI workloads.

For more insights into the digital engineering challenges faced by U.S. enterprises, including the shift to offering services such as software and the need for a new talent mix to reshore manufacturing, plus ISG’s advice for addressing those challenges, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ Digital Engineering Services report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 43 providers across four quadrants: Design & Development (Products, Services and Experiences), Integrated Customer/User Engagement, Intelligent Operations and Platform and Application Services.

The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, GlobalLogic, HARMAN, HCLTech, Infosys, LTIMindtree, LTTS, Persistent Systems, TCS and Wipro as Leaders in all four quadrants. It names Cyient, Hexaware and Tech Mahindra as Leaders in three quadrants each. NTT DATA is named as a Leader in one quadrant.

In addition, Apexon is named as a Rising Stars — a company with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in three quadrants. Ascendion is named as a Rising Star in two quadrants. Motherson Technology, NTT DATA and Xorient are named as Rising Stars in one quadrant each.

In the area of customer experience, Persistent Systems is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among Digital Engineering Services providers. Persistent Systems earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.

Customized versions of the report are available from GlobalLogic, Hexaware and LTTS.
