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.

AI, Analytics Becoming Vital to Healthcare Success

Companies partner with specialized providers to deploy GenAI, agentic AI for improved research, patient care, ISG Provider Lens® report says

Healthcare and life sciences enterprises are using generative AI (GenAI), agentic AI and analytics to transform patient care and drug development, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® global Specialty Analytics Services — Life Sciences and Healthcare report finds that organizations are adopting new digital tools to deliver better care and patient engagement, accelerate research and improve operations management. They are turning to specialist analytics providers for help integrating these advances and overcoming challenges such as fragmented data and legacy system limitations. The result is measurable improvement in efficiency and patient outcomes.

“Analytics tools for life science and healthcare organizations are becoming more adaptive and predictive,” said Jenn Stein, ISG partner and life sciences industry lead. “Healthcare providers, payers and life sciences organizations see the power in these new technologies and are starting to integrate them in their operations.”

Life sciences firms are accelerating drug discovery and development with AI-enabled simulated trials and more efficient integration of real-world data and evidence, the report says. To improve decentralized clinical trials that use data from wearable devices, they are implementing advanced analytics. Companies are also making complex supply chains more well-connected using analytics, blockchain and IoT, significantly reducing time to market for new products.

Providers are using analytics and AI to strengthen operations amid workforce shortages and financial strain, ISG says. Hospitals and healthcare systems are deploying tools to predict the flow of patients through a facility, helping them allocate staff and resources more effectively. Decision support systems enhanced by GenAI summarize patient histories to help doctors make decisions, while providers are also using AI to improve physician productivity.

Healthcare insurers are expanding their use of advanced analytics beyond actuarial modeling and into fraud and anomaly detection, the report says. Case managers now use agentic AI copilots for real-time recommendations when they are interacting with patients. These tools not only control costs but increase trust among insurers, members and regulators.

Service providers specializing in the healthcare and life sciences industries are unifying data, analytics and AI into modular, interoperable platforms, ISG says. These often include domain-specific AI models, GenAI prompts and agentic AI copilots, along with frameworks for monitoring and retraining AI models to avoid bias. The platforms also offer cloud-native scalability and data pipelines that can ingest and clean diverse datasets.

“GenAI and agentic AI are now the foundations of long-term competitiveness in healthcare and life sciences,” said Manav Deep Sachdeva, senior manager and principal analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. “Providers that specialize in these fields are key partners for gaining real benefits from analytics strategies.”

The report also explores other AI and analytics trends in healthcare and life sciences, including the use of AI to produce documentation, summarize health records and identify quick opportunities for efficiency.

The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® global Specialty Analytics Services — Life Sciences and Healthcare report evaluates the capabilities of 21 providers across one quadrant: Life Sciences and Healthcare.

The report names Axtria, CitiusTech, Fractal Analytics, HARMAN Digital Transformation Solutions, MathCo, Quantiphi, Straive and ZS as Leaders in the quadrant.

In addition, Tiger Analytics is named as a Rising Star — a company with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in the quadrant.
