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.

ISG to Publish Report on Supply Chain Service Providers

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will evaluate providers preparing supply chains for emerging enterprise needs with AI, other technologies

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining service providers that are helping enterprises make their supply chains more resilient and adaptable amid rapid changes in technology and global business.

The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Supply Chain Services, scheduled to be released in September 2025. The reports will cover companies offering services including supply chain consulting, operations modernization and the implementation of transportation management and circular supply chain systems.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

Companies face growing uncertainty from geopolitical and economic disruptions, including rising tariffs, even as they come under pressure to make supply chains more efficient and sustainable. Many are using specialized consulting services and new technologies, including AI, to remain competitive in this crucial, complex aspect of business operations. Enterprises want modular, scalable solutions suited to their digital maturity and industry-specific requirements.

“The supply chains of the future will need to adapt to constant change,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “To remain competitive, enterprises are seeking service providers that can make their supply chains more agile, efficient and resilient.“

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 supply chain service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the supply chain services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants are:

  • Supply Chain Operations Modernization Services, evaluating providers of consulting, implementation and managed services to transform supply chain operations. Leading providers use AI, automation and analytics to optimize processes and deliver real-time insights, enhancing visibility and compliance.
  • Supply Chain BPO Services, assessing providers of outsourced business processes including procurement, order fulfillment, transportation, customer service and logistics management. Providers must be able to integrate technologies such as AI, automation, chatbots, predictive analytics and natural-language processing.
  • Circular Supply Chain Services, covering providers that help enterprises make their operations more sustainable through reuse, recycling and remanufacturing. Providers focus on building capabilities such as resource efficiency, waste reduction, traceability and reverse logistics.
  • Supply Chain TMS Implementation Services, evaluating providers that help clients put transportation management systems in place to overcome operational, regulatory and cost challenges related to transportation. TMS requirements include addressing regional issues such as major tax changes, high logistics costs and limited carrier availability.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global supply chain services market and examine products and services available globally and in Brazil. ISG analysts Tarun Vaid, Sidney Nobre, Mamtha R, Rafael Rigotti, Sumit Kumar and Vaishnavi G K will serve as authors of the report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as supply chain service providers can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged complete this online survey. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.
