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.

Logistics Plus Outpaces Larger Rivals with AI-Powered Supply Chain Intelligence from Qlik

Global logistics provider slashes shipment error rates from 20% to less than 1% using Qlik Cloud Analytics

Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), is powering a bold transformation at Logistics Plus. In the logistics sector, where scale often defines advantage, Logistics Plus is using real-time, AI-driven intelligence to operate with greater precision, agility, and visibility across its global supply chain.

“Transformative is an understatement. With Qlik, we’ve made a 10,000-year leap in our ability to manage our data and see what we can do with it,” said Ryan McGregor, Director of Business Intelligence at Logistics Plus. “Operators much larger than us can’t respond in the same way this nimble company from Erie, Pennsylvania can. We’re punching above our weight with world-class analytics and reporting.”

Moving goods globally is a high-stakes, high-variability business. Delays, disruptions, and manual bottlenecks had begun to constrain Logistics Plus' rapid growth. With data trapped in spreadsheets and fragmented across geographies, teams lacked the visibility and agility needed to make timely, informed decisions.

Qlik Cloud Analytics™ became the new operating layer for the company’s supply chain, warehousing, and customer experience functions. The solution enables cross-platform visibility, faster tracking, and intelligent automation.

Today, Qlik powers:

  • Port-level analytics for container turnaround time
  • Predictive shipment insights using Qlik Predict
  • Customer-facing dashboards such as My Freight Trend
  • Internal C-suite visibility across all business units

Key Outcomes:

  • Shipment error rate reduced from over 20% to under 1%
  • Task time reduced from days to seconds for reports and interventions
  • AI-powered predictions identify likely delays and trigger early action
  • Rapidly updated dashboards shared directly with customers and executives

What sets Logistics Plus apart is a combination of speed and foresight. By embedding Qlik Predict into operations, the company now anticipates shipment delays before they happen and takes corrective action in transit, not after delivery fails.

“Our customers don’t just get updates. They get options,” added McGregor. “That’s what wins trust in this market.”

“Logistics Plus is proving what real execution with AI looks like,” said Brendan Grady, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Qlik’s Analytics Business Unit. “They’ve embedded predictive intelligence into their operations to make faster decisions, avoid disruptions, and stay ahead of larger competitors. That’s the kind of agility Qlik was built to deliver.”

As Logistics Plus continues to scale, the company is expanding its use of Qlik’s AI portfolio, including exploring Qlik Answers® for unstructured data and Qlik Talend Cloud® for advanced integration. The goal: deeper intelligence, tighter customer experiences, and faster moves in a volatile market.

“We’ve only just started tapping into what’s possible,” said McGregor. “With Qlik, we’re not just keeping up. We’re staying ahead.”
