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.

Acuity Knowledge Partners Unveils Acuity Agent Fleet, a deep domain specific Agentic AI platform for Banks, Asset Managers, and Private Equity houses

The Agent Fleet is a scalable Agentic AI platform that fuses Acuity’s deep domain expertise with the best in emergent AI technology to transform the services Acuity provides to the world’s financial services industry.

Acuity Knowledge Partners (Acuity), a leading provider of bespoke technology, analytics, and research to the financial services sector, is excited to announce the launch of a market leading, deep domain specific Agentic AI platform - Agent Fleet for Banks, Asset Managers, and Private Equity houses.

Built solely to address the needs of the financial services industry, the Acuity Agent Fleet combines domain-trained Al agents with Acuity’s over 20 years of deep sector expertise and robust data infrastructure. This enables firms to scale their businesses, improve decision-making and efficiency-without expanding headcount. It reflects Acuity's commitment to helping clients meet their challenges with smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solutions.

“Today marks another major step forward for Acuity as a technology-first, digital solutions provider to the world’s financial services industry. A new age of change is upon us. We are embracing the AI revolution, and building upon it,” said Robert King, Chief Executive Officer of Acuity Knowledge Partners. “In the weeks and months ahead, Acuity Agent Fleet will impact hundreds of billions of dollars of deals, loans, and management decisions as we roll out our first of a new generation of tools, powered by our proprietary Agentic AI technology platform” he added.

Acuity Agent Fleet, an Agentic AI platform, combines AI with no-code workflow automation. It consists of an Agentic Library which has a fleet of agents tailored for the financial services working together to perform tasks like data extraction to quantitative and qualitative analysis and publishing into Microsoft Office 365.

Our expert defined workflow governs the agents to perform the tasks reliably according to the process defined by the organisation. Agent Fleet takes the strain of performing repetitive and time-consuming tasks which frees up valuable human capital to focus on higher value additive tasks in the pursuit of greater financial returns.

Agent Fleet will power solutions across Banking, Asset Management, and Private Equity houses. Some use cases include:

  • Vastly reducing workflows involved in profile generation, credit underwriting and market research, Acuity’s modelling agnostic technology means any bank, in any market, can use it to scale at speed. This levels the playing field between banks and will boost industry-wide competition. It will also drive sustainable returns for first adopters. For example, the company profile generation workflow leverages data sources across web, financial documents and market data sources, performs detailed fact checking and generates Company profiles in custom defined PowerPoint templates, all with human oversight at specific steps.
  • Combining Acuity’s deep, domain expertise with Agentic AI to enable Asset Managers to free up valuable human capital to focus on delivering alpha. Asset Managers will be able to use Agent Fleet to launch workflows to perform Portfolio Valuation Analysis, Portfolio Pricing Exceptions as well as Market and Sector analysis using our Deep Research Agents.
  • Harnessing Acuity’s proprietary AI data mining and automation workflow models to uncover new opportunities and optimise exit strategies. This will enable private market operators to capture new opportunities and move at pace to realise returns. The first workflows launched are to provide efficiency in front office workflows like Deal Sourcing, Deal Due-diligence and LP Investment Memos.

The Acuity Agent fleet of AI agents are trained on real-world processes and are already being integrated into Acuity’s digital solutions. The fleet is modular and scalable, with as many agents as necessary able to be deployed according to clients’ workflow needs. The agents provide a powerful blend of automation and expert oversight, augmenting domain expertise and providing the best combination of human and artificial intelligence.

“The deployment of Agentic AI throughout the financial services industry will be revolutionary. Agentic AI systems with deep human domain expertise when adopted will enable knowledge workers within Financial Services to massively scale up their impact as they leverage fleets of agents – freeing them up for the most value-added interventions,” said Jon O’Donnell, Chief Operating Officer of Acuity Knowledge Partners. “Our Agentic AI implementation will deliver a paradigm shift for our clients, leaders and companies that embrace it will replace those that do not.”
