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.

Pega Signs Five-Year Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS to Reimagine Legacy Transformation

Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the Enterprise Transformation Company™, today announced it has signed a five-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The collaboration will empower clients to harness the power of Pega products with AWS advanced generative AI services. This includes leveraging Amazon Bedrock and AWS Transform with Pega Blueprint™ to accelerate legacy modernization projects, freeing enterprises from time-consuming and resource-draining technical debt and opening the door for agentic automation across enterprise workflows.

A recent Pega survey indicates technical debt continues to hold back organizations that increasingly struggle to deliver the digital-first experiences their customers expect. The survey, conducted with research firm Savanta, found that more than two-thirds (68%) of IT decision makers in global enterprises say outdated legacy systems and applications are preventing them from embracing innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and automation.

Under this new agreement, Pega and AWS will leverage AWS Transform, which uses agentic AI workflows to automate the full modernization lifecycle, and Pega Blueprint, a cloud-based application that leverages AI agents to accelerate the design and development of Pega-powered workflow applications. Together, this AI-based approach helps clients accelerate their journey to the cloud faster and more efficiently without disrupting critical business functions. This allows them to rethink and replace legacy systems and rapidly deploy the power of predictable AI, agents, and automation to more effectively engage customers, deliver service, and run their operations.

Pega will also integrate Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service, as the primary generative AI foundation powering Pega Blueprint and Pega PlatformTM, an AI decisioning and workflow automation platform used for building enterprise software solutions. Now powered with Amazon Bedrock, clients can securely leverage generative AI large language models (LLMs) from companies including Anthropic, Amazon, Cohere, Meta, and more. With Amazon Bedrock enterprise-grade security controls and governance capabilities, Pega clients can confidently use the power of Amazon Bedrock across the entire app development lifecycle – from requirements analysis to initial workflow design to continual refinement.

The agreement affirms Pega’s commitment to selling in AWS Marketplace as the preferred transaction mechanism for Pega-as-a-Service, helping to further reduce the time between contract and innovation for clients, while also providing clients with access to financial benefits in AWS Marketplace. Furthermore, this collaboration enables Pega to offer comprehensive migration services and tools that guide on-premises clients through a seamless transition to Pega-as-a-Service.

Quotes and Commentary

“By deepening our collaboration with AWS, we’re taking another major step in empowering organizations to use generative AI to accelerate their legacy application transformation initiatives,” said John Higgins, chief of client and partner success, Pega. “It’s no longer enough to keep applying incremental changes to legacy systems in the AI era. Clients want to drive strategic business process changes to capture the AI-driven productivity improvements – eliminating technical debt and enabling dynamic and intelligent workflows are significant value drivers for organizations seeking to embrace AI to drive business agility. And that’s where we come in. Partners can now differentiate their services by infusing their IP and best practices into Pega Blueprint to transform legacy applications.”

“As a long-standing customer of both Pega and AWS, this timing couldn’t be better,” said Manas Kumar Sarkar, vice president enterprise application integration services, Infosys. “This agreement streamlines the path to integrate the power of Pega Platform and Pega Blueprint into Infosys Cobalt, our industry leading cloud offering built on AWS. We’re excited about the value this brings to Infosys as well as to the industry.”

“Generative AI is not only revolutionizing what customers can build in the cloud, but with services like AWS Transform, it's fundamentally changing how quickly and seamlessly they can get to the cloud in the first place," said Chris Grusz, managing director, technology partners, at AWS. “Our strategic collaboration with Pega combines AWS AI-powered modernization capabilities with Pega's expertise in enterprise workflow transformation, providing customers with powerful tools to escape technical debt without disrupting critical business operations."
