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.

Snowflake and Acxiom Announce Plans to Transform AI-Powered Marketing for Brands and Agencies

Snowflake and Acxiom Announce Plans to Transform AI-Powered Marketing for Brands and Agencies

With operations in over 100 countries, IPG will make these capabilities available to brands at a global scale, helping modernize outdated data practices by delivering a first-of-its-kind, secure and transparent AI-powered marketing foundation built natively in the cloud. As part of this transformation, Acxiom will also modernize its products, solutions, and client environments with Snowflake, enabling brands to maximize the power of their first-party data in the cloud.

This collaboration unlocks a new era of marketing capabilities for brands. By bringing IPG’s advanced technologies—including Acxiom’s comprehensive suite of data and identity solutions and IPG’s collaborative Interact platform—directly into their Snowflake environments, brands gain unprecedented visibility and control over their data flow across applications, agencies, and platforms. With Snowflake’s built-in privacy and security features, this direct integration eliminates the need to move first-party data. It empowers brands with real-time insights, precise audience segmentation, and improved personalization, while also modernizing their data and technology stacks with composable architectures and AI.

"IPG and Acxiom are redefining how brands leverage data and AI by building on Snowflake's secure, unified platform,” said Denise Persson, Chief Marketing Officer, Snowflake. “Our AI Data Cloud provides the robust foundation necessary to bring IPG’s innovative vision for a modern, AI-driven marketing ecosystem to life, enabling seamless collaboration and the deployment of advanced AI capabilities for their clients."

“Every marketer and business leader wants speed, flexibility, and meaningful results from their data and martech investments,” said Jarrod Martin, Global CEO of Acxiom. “By partnering with Snowflake, we’re eliminating data silos that previously prevented marketers from achieving truly integrated customer views and real-time personalization.”

Breaking the Black Box: Marketing's Transparent Future

This initiative unlocks capabilities previously impossible to deliver at scale:

  • Privacy-First Data Access: Interact, IPG’s integrated platform for brand marketing, will be available directly within marketers' Snowflake environments via the Snowflake Native App Framework, seamlessly integrating with Acxiom’s suite of privacy-enhancing solutions, including collaborative data clean rooms, predictive audiences, and Acxiom Real ID for identity resolution. This eliminates the need to transfer sensitive data, providing a secure and privacy-preserving way to achieve cross-channel identity recognition and advanced marketing insights.
  • AI-Powered Marketing Transformation: Brands can automatically optimize campaigns, predict performance, and generate personalized content by leveraging Interact’s AI features, powered by Snowflake Cortex, unlocking a new level of AI-driven marketing transformation.
  • Full Ecosystem Transparency: Interact will operate directly within the client's Snowflake environment, securely powered by Real ID, reversing the traditional agency-client data model. Unlike traditional "black box" agency technology stacks, this creates a transparent ecosystem where data is securely connected between marketers and media partners, granting full visibility into data usage and marketing ROI, with significant advantages in privacy, control, and AI enablement.
  • Leading with Secure Data Collaboration: IPG and Acxiom will continue to prioritize privacy-forward practices, building on their established history of secure data engagement leveraging Snowflake’s collaboration capabilities and trusted partners like Mediaocean Prisma and The Trade Desk. Acxiom’s integration of Real ID into Snowflake Data Clean Rooms further reflects their commitment to zero copy data sharing, facilitating seamless collaboration on audience insights, ad verification, incremental ROI measurement, and omnichannel marketing.
  • Joint Solutions Hub for Continued Innovation: Snowflake, IPG and Acxiom are planning to create a joint incubation hub to develop new AI and omnichannel marketing solutions, leveraging Snowflake's secure, multi-cloud data collaboration capabilities and the combined power of Snowflake Cortex and Interact. This initiative will not only upskill IPG and Acxiom teams on Snowflake's latest products and features but also provide them with valuable first looks into Snowflake's robust adtech and martech partner ecosystem, granting IPG and Acxiom clients advanced access to groundbreaking new data, applications, and AI solutions.

Building on these powerful integrations and Acxiom’s role in the Snowflake Partner Network (SPN), IPG is signifying a deep and ongoing commitment to delivering comprehensive, data-driven marketing solutions powered by Snowflake. This will allow IPG early access to Snowflake's latest innovations, allowing for continuous advancement of technical capabilities on the platform.

Real-World Impact: Transforming Client Outcomes

This alliance is already delivering measurable results across industries:

  • IPG Mediabrands is empowering a global toy manufacturer to adopt an always-on investment strategy and achieve more effective ad spend optimization based on real-time consumer demand, enabled by Snowflake-powered data insights.
  • KINESSO is unlocking unprecedented global channel insights for a leading commerce company by leveraging Snowflake to power a proprietary Media Mix Model. This analysis of tens of millions in ad spend across markets is driving smarter and faster investment decisions.
  • Acxiom is currently helping major financial institutions modernize their martech stacks and integrate cloud infrastructure with Snowflake, establishing ethical data governance practices and a more secure, privacy-centric foundation for their marketing activities.
