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.

Alight Elevates Employer-employee Benefits Experience With Second Release of Alight Worklife® for 2025

AI-powered enhancements, deeper integrations, and greater personalization blend high-tech with human touch to simplify benefits engagement, reduce HR complexity and support evolving workforce needs

Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, today announced the second major release of Alight Worklife® for 2025. With enhancements across health, wealth, wellbeing, navigation and absence management, the latest release of Alight Worklife empowers employers to deliver greater clarity and connection throughout the employee benefits experience, while freeing HR teams to focus on strategic priorities beyond routine administration.

“Alight Worklife is a benefits platform built to reduce complexity for both employers and employees,” said David Essary, Chief Strategy Officer at Alight. “With AI-powered insights, personalized experiences and seamless workflows into one unified platform, Alight Worklife empowers employees to make smarter, more informed decisions around their benefits, helping lead to higher engagement, lower costs and a healthier, more resilient workforce.”

The Alight Worklife platform drives measurable ROI for employers, with a 2024 Forrester Total Economic Impact study finding a 112% ROI for a global company using Alight Worklife. Enhancements across the second release of Alight Worklife for 2025 are designed to improve employee and business outcomes across five key benefits areas, including:

Health

Across the platform, self-service tools, integrations and contactless payment options make it easier for employees to prioritize their health while helping employers increase benefits utilization rates. Features include:

  • Additional AI integrations across the platform allow employees to receive faster, more relevant responses to their search queries through AI-generated summaries, significantly reducing time spent on routine administrative tasks while boosting employee insights and knowledge around their benefits decisions.
  • An expanded programs library now includes over 100 additional detail pages, giving employers access to over 425 benefits program pages, each offering a summary of features, participant benefits and costs relevant to their organizations.
  • A Smart-Choice Accounts® digital wallet integration enables employees to pay for care in a secure, contactless and easy way through Apple Pay and Google Wallet, streamlining payments while reducing administrative overhead.

Leaves

Alight continues to unify and integrate tools, data and support on the platform to simplify and create a more cohesive leaves experience for employers and employees. The system now offers additional tailored messaging and enhancements during life transitions, including:

  • Integrated leave communications with Benefit Administration and Healthcare Navigation, prioritizing leaves of absence as a crucial part of the holistic benefits experience.
  • Adding an absence calendar to give leaders visibility into leaves schedules to improve planning for the future. People managers can now monitor leave request patterns that may prompt further action.
  • Intermittent pattern recognition technology to manage and identify fraud, alerting users and employer case managers to review leave utilization and confirm it is appropriate based on the leave an employee is certified for.

Wealth

Employees can gain access to the financial information they need quickly and easily with instant access to financial statements in a modern, intuitive interface. Wealth compliance automation reduces confusion for employees and promotes compliance for employers. Additionally, proactive required minimum distribution (RMD) notifications keep participants informed with timely retirement communications as they approach their RMD age.

High-tech, human-touch support

For Alight’s care representatives, Advanced Channel Analytics enable real-time sentiment analysis and summarization across support channels. The system captures feedback to drive continuous improvement and equips Alight’s care representatives with actionable insights to enhance outcomes and satisfaction for employees.

Wellbeing

This release introduces new tools that help boost engagement and wellbeing among employees, enabling celebration for employees. The social recognition feature in Alight Marketplace means employees can share appreciation for each other through an embedded social feed, as well as personalized gifts to celebrate life events.

With over 30 new enhancements and features, including AI-powered support functions, enhanced integrations, and new tools across the business, this marks the second major release of 2025 for Alight Worklife.
