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.

Informatica and Salesforce Partner Announce Plans to Deliver AI-Driven Customer Intelligence with New Agentforce Integration

 

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), an AI-powered enterprise cloud data management leader, today announced plans to expand its partnership with Salesforce to integrate Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud™ platform with Salesforce’s Agentforce, the digital labor platform for augmenting teams with trusted autonomous AI agents in the flow of work. This new AI-driven chapter in the Salesforce and Informatica partnership will extend Agentforce for Sales and Agentforce for Service with enriched customer intelligence — empowering organizations to deliver more personalized, AI-enhanced customer experiences.

At the heart of this solution is Informatica’s Master Data Management (MDM), “golden records” that integrate customer data from dozens of enterprise systems, helping to ensure optimal data quality. Informatica MDM SaaS will leverage these records to enrich AI agents built with Agentforce, supporting critical sales and service use cases across B2C and B2B environments. The announcements were made today at the company’s annual data management and AI conference, Informatica World, held in Las Vegas.

Planned key capabilities:

Customer insights that include full profiles, contact information, buying behavior, product affinity, complex household and organizational hierarchies, segmentation, consent status (e.g., GDPR/CCPA) and contact preferences.

Customer service enhancements that can improve customer satisfaction scores and organizational reputation by empowering support teams with up-to-date, context-rich customer data during every interaction.

Sales enrichment that provides 360° customer intelligence across all enterprise systems to personalize engagement and help ensure regulatory compliance.

“Data is foundational for agentic AI,” said Tyler Carlson, SVP, Business Development and Strategy at Salesforce. “Through Informatica’s master data management capabilities integrated with Agentforce, Salesforce customers will be able to further ground AI agent interactions in high-quality data to drive better and targeted service and engagement.”

The Informatica MDM SaaS actions for Agentforce are planned to be offered on the Salesforce AppExchange and are targeted to be globally available in the second half of 2025.

“This collaboration is about action, not just insights,” said Rik Tamm-Daniels, GVP of Strategic Ecosystems at Informatica. “We will be augmenting the Agentforce experiences for line-of-business users with deep, reliable enterprise data to enable intelligent customer interactions that drive measurable outcomes.”
