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.

Beneva Deploys Policy Administration, Underwriting, and Billing Operations on Guidewire Cloud Platform

Beneva, the largest mutual insurance company in Canada, and Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Beneva successfully deployed Guidewire PolicyCenter and Guidewire BillingCenter to power and simplify the company’s underwriting, policy administration, billing management, and IT operations, adapt more quickly to changing market demands, and deliver more value to its policyholders. The company migrated its on-premises PolicyCenter and BillingCenter environments to Guidewire Cloud Platform, beginning with its personal lines of business.

Beneva is currently migrating the Guidewire products for its commercial lines of business and will conclude the migration with its brokerage-based businesses. With the completion of this project, the company, which migrated Guidewire ClaimCenter to Guidewire Cloud Platform in 2023, is now a full Guidewire InsuranceSuite customer on Guidewire Cloud Platform. Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Global Premier member Deloitte led the implementation project.

“We have a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-first approach at Beneva, so migrating to Guidewire Cloud Platform will enable us to decrease risk by staying technically current on Guidewire technology so we can access all of the new features as soon as they become available,” said Beneva Information Technology Vice-President Property and Casualty and Corporate Services Éric Marcoux. “The migration project was completed on time and on budget thanks to the strong collaborative partnership with Guidewire and Deloitte Canada. We’re confident that by updating Guidewire Cloud Platform three times a year, we’ll be able to quickly derive business value from using products and features such as Autopilot Workflow Service, Guidewire Data Studio, Guidewire Explore, and Guidewire Jutro Digital Platform that are only available on Guidewire Cloud Platform.”

Deloitte Partner & Canadian Guidewire Alliance Leader Firas Zawadi said, “We are honored that Beneva put its trust in Deloitte to migrate PolicyCenter and BillingCenter to Guidewire Cloud Platform. This highlights what is possible when great teams come together with a shared vision and relentless focus on outcomes.”

“We congratulate Beneva on their successful PolicyCenter and BillingCenter migration project to Guidewire Cloud Platform and are proud that InsuranceSuite on Guidewire Cloud Platform is serving as the technology foundation for the company’s business strategy and success now and into the future,” said Guidewire Chief Customer Officer Christina Colby. “We look forward to helping Beneva continue its mission of bringing together its mutualist values to protect people by providing caring insurance coverage that lets policyholders focus on what matters most.”

Marcoux discussed Beneva’s Guidewire journey at Connections 2025 last November. Watch the keynote presentation here.
