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.

Parloa Launches Global Partner Program to Accelerate Agentic AI Adoption

Accenture, Deloitte, PWC, Microsoft, NTT and Verint are among the more than 100 member organizations in Parloa’s comprehensive partner ecosystem.

Parloa, a leading provider of agentic AI platforms for customer experience, today announced the launch of the Parloa Partner Program at its flagship partner event, WAVE Soundcheck. The first-of-its-kind program provides a structured framework for services, business process outsourcing (BPO), and technology partners to collaborate with Parloa in delivering enterprise-grade AI solutions for customer engagement.

The initiative marks a formal expansion of Parloa’s partner ecosystem, which has been central to the company’s successful growth strategy. By embedding Parloa’s AI technology into broader solution and services portfolios, partners are now able to bring scalable, industry-specific offerings to market while creating new revenue opportunities.

Meeting Enterprise Demand for AI in Customer Experience

As large enterprises adopt agentic AI, many look to partners for help with design, implementation, and global scaling. These organizations may face challenges related to system integration, safety, and interoperability, as with any transformational technology. The Parloa Partner Program addresses these gaps by offering its partners solutions, enablement and incentives designed to make AI deployments repeatable, reliable, and profitable.

Through the program, partners will be able to:

  • Build and deliver agentic AI offerings, focused on the customer journey;
  • Use Parloa’s composable platform to extend functionality;
  • Generate repeatable revenue and win more deals through AI-driven services and solutions.

For enterprise customers, this means faster implementation, shorter time to value, and access to local partners with relevant and proven industry expertise.

The Parloa Partner Program provides:

  • Tiered Structure: Three levels for services and BPO partners, plus a dedicated track for technology partners, with robust benefits and clear requirements for growth.
  • Partner Portal: Central hub for deal registration, pipeline tracking, GTM assets, joint planning and collaboration.
  • Parloa Partner Academy: Technical, Sales, and Project Manager training and certifications to build expertise and scale.
  • Partner Directory: A customer-facing hub to discover other Parloa partners, searchable by tier, expertise, and region.
  • New Partner Website: A global gateway for both prospective and existing partners.
  • Menu of Benefits: A transparent overview of business, enablement, delivery and marketing benefits tied to each tier.

“Our Partner Program reimagines the capabilities of a sales channel to become a framework for collaboration,” said Dorothy Copeland, SVP of Partner Ecosystem at Parloa. “By formalizing our comprehensive approach, we are giving partners the tools and structure they need to scale Parloa’s agentic AI across industries and geographies, as well as the support to do it right.”
