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.

Ajinomoto Frozen Foods transforms financial operations with CCH® Tagetik Intelligent Platform from Wolters Kluwer

With CCH Tagetik, Ajinomoto has reduced budget management time by 88%, can now complete same-day P&L reporting, and is better positioned to adapt to organizational change

Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Co., Inc., a leading manufacturer in the frozen food industry, has advanced its budgeting and performance processes in management accounting by implementing the CCH® Tagetik Intelligent Platform from Wolters Kluwer.

Facing rapid changes in the business environment and increasing complexity in operations, Ajinomoto Frozen Foods sought to overhaul its legacy technology systems and Excel-heavy workflows. The company selected CCH Tagetik to streamline budget preparation, automate multi-level allocation processing, and enable real-time budget vs. actual management.

Kumiko Minowa, Japan Managing Director of CCH Tagetik at Wolters Kluwer, said:

“The CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform now provides Ajinomoto Frozen Foods with a unified, cloud-based platform to support both annual budget planning and monthly performance tracking. With time saved by CCH Tagetik automation, the Ajinomoto Frozen Foods team can now also focus on deeper analysis of year-over-year and budget comparisons and is able to deliver higher quality reports to senior management and other departments.”

By implementing CCH Tagetik, Ajinomoto Frozen Foods has:

  • Reduced annual budget preparation time by 120 hours, annually.
  • Reduced by 88% the time spent on budget preparation and consolidation work through the automation of budget vs. actual management and allocation calculations, helping to free up time for high-priority work.
  • Implemented same-day P&L reporting, enabling faster decision-making.
  • Achieved the ability to view sales and profit margin progress from any perspective—by product, business division, and key accounts. This visibility supports more flexible, data-driven decision-making, companywide.
  • Improved its ability to adapt to organizational changes, including the creation of its new “key accounts” division.

Mr. Hideaki Kawasaki, Manager at Ajinomoto Financial Solutions, said:

“CCH Tagetik now enables us to analyze sales and profit margins from multiple perspectives. This has driven data-informed decisions across our sales, development, and manufacturing teams.”

Ajinomoto Frozen Foods utilized TIS Corporation, a solution partner of CCH Tagetik, to support the system implementation of CCH Tagetik. Looking ahead, the company plans to collaborate with Wolters Kluwer and TIS Corporation to expand its use of CCH Tagetik to support overseas operations and enhance reporting for its parent company.
