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.

Insurers Flock to Guidewire Cloud for Core Modernization

By: via Business Wire

Providers help companies carry out complex migrations from on-premises to cloud-based Guidewire core platform, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

A growing number of insurers are deploying the Guidewire Cloud core platform as existing users migrate from on-premises implementations and new customers adopt the platform, 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™ global Guidewire Services Ecosystem report finds that insurance companies are replacing legacy systems with modular core platforms such as Guidewire for greater scalability, agility and cost efficiency. As new types of insurance providers enter the market and customers expect more personalized experiences, companies are adopting modern platforms to cut costs, enhance customer experience and seize new market opportunities.

“Insurance companies are moving from legacy systems to modular, cloud-based platforms like Guidewire as the core of their ecosystem to compete in a rapidly changing industry,” said Dennis Winkler, leader, insurance industry vertical, for ISG in the Americas. “Guidewire system implementation providers accelerate speed to market for new products and allow insurers to transform their technology and business models.”

As Guidewire prepares to end support for its on-premises versions, existing customers face complex migrations to the SaaS-based model, the report says. These transitions involve careful planning, change management and addressing of technical debt, the report says. To succeed, insurers are seeking experienced service providers that understand their business objectives.

Large, progressive insurance companies now expect core platform providers to support their overall digital transformations with a wide range of additional tools, ISG says. Guidewire is responding to this demand with digital portals, process automation tools and a data and analytics platform. However, most service providers are still building the capability to implement these tools.

As part of its transition to the cloud platform, Guidewire is reshaping its provider ecosystem in ways that give customers a greater choice of partners, ISG says. On-premises implementations of Guidewire typically were highly customized, often resulting in project delays and failures, so most insurers needed to engage separate, deeply experienced providers for implementation and support.

For Guidewire Cloud, the company has introduced implementation kits that simplify deployments, reduce customizations and lower project risk, ISG says. These enable smaller, more nimble providers to confidently take on Guidewire implementations. This may allow some insurers to partner with forward-looking providers to carry out holistic innovation projects that go beyond core platform replacement.

“Moving from legacy core systems to platforms like Guidewire Cloud gives insurance companies an opportunity to transform their entire business,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Choosing the right partner is essential to that transition, from readiness assessment all the way through ongoing support.”

The report also explores other trends in the Guidewire ecosystem, including the growing importance of automated testing and the emergence of AI features for underwriting, claims and fraud detection.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ global Guidewire Services Ecosystem report evaluates the capabilities of 26 providers in one quadrant: Guidewire Services.

The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, Deloitte, EY, HCLTech, Hexaware, PwC and TCS as Leaders in the quadrant.

In addition, GFT is named as a Rising Star — a company with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition.

Customized versions of the report are available from CGI, Hexaware and PwC.
