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.

Program Director Paul Delacourt Outlines the Risk Mitigation Process

By: Get News

Risk mitigation involves identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks to lessen their effects. It’s a process central to the activities of businesses and other organizations across the board. Risk mitigation is an area of particular expertise for program director Paul Delacourt.

Delacourt is a successful director of programs for a leading technology transformation company. He’s also a former law enforcement officer with a further background in crisis management, strategic planning, and cybersecurity. Currently based near Washington, DC, the retired FBI special agent spent 25 years handling intelligence and mission services, among other responsibilities.

Michigan native Paul Delacourt’s skills have subsequently translated exceptionally well into a career in technology. Accordingly, Delacourt boasts a proficiency in risk mitigation that’s largely unmatched. From determining severity to creating an action plan, it’s a process that the expert says revolves around four key steps.

Identify risks

When commencing with any risk mitigation plan, Paul Delacourt recommends beginning the process from an exploratory viewpoint. Comprehensively identifying possible risks is, therefore, an ideal place to start. Risks may be operational, financial, reputational, or strategic. They may also fall into a fifth main category – hazard risks.

It’s hazard risks that Delacourt primarily tackled as a law enforcement officer. However, operational, financial, and strategic risks are equally important, especially more broadly speaking. As a program director working in the technology field, Delacourt now faces all of these risk types and more. What’s most crucial, though, is identifying them.

Determine severity

Retired special agent Paul Delacourt’s second step revolves around evaluating identified risks. Ultimately, the goal of this step is to calculate the potential impact. That can be the impact of a singular risk or a combination of several risks simultaneously affecting operations or other activities.

An excellent way to approach this step is by mapping out identified risks on a scale. It’s a method routinely employed by Delacourt. When correctly scaled, severity and impact are visible to all necessary parties. Furthermore, working out the potential frequency of the same risks can further aid the mitigation process, the expert reports.

Summarize solutions

Any risk mitigation process becomes most effective only after identifying the best possible solutions. Solutions to risks come in many forms. Paul Delacourt has discovered that the most common are further rooted in crisis management and strategic planning.

Either way, resources must be in place. Whether those resources are financial, reliant on personnel or training, or stem from other sources entirely, the same is true. From a personnel perspective, responsible parties should train individuals likely to form a part of the risk mitigation process as appropriate. That’s just one reason that Delacourt is so adamant about formalizing the matter.

Create a plan of action

Finally, program director Paul Delacourt recommends rounding off risk mitigation plans with an actionable set of procedures. Following an identified risk occurring, action must be immediately implementable. From there, it’s similarly essential that those in charge can monitor results.

Delacourt advises adopting a culture of risk management in any instance. However, it’s something that the expert says is most vital in the wake of consequences caused by one or more risks. With that, it’s crucial to see risk mitigation as a process rather than as a one-time project.
