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.

Realtimecampaign.com Discusses Some Common Challenges with SAP Integration

Software-as-a-service or SaaS technology gives business leaders more control over the software they choose to run HR, sales, and finance departments. It is common for businesses to perform SAP integrations that combine core operations with various SaaS applications, but the process isn't without obstacles. Here, we'll discuss the most common SAP integration challenges.

Achieving Strategic Goals

Applications are often deployed quickly, allowing departments to meet short-term objectives. Quick deployments, however, may create long-term problems. SaaS brings numerous benefits to various departments, all of which must access data from the central SAP system. When these integrations are delayed or made unnecessarily complex, it affects each department's ability to use SaaS to achieve its goals. There's a great article on SAP development and integration, and one can check it out here.

Data and Process Management

In some cases, SAP requires real-time data collection from multiple applications simultaneously. For instance, customers' data may be held in a company's CRM solution, SAP, and marketing automation system.

When businesses create customer-centric marketing campaigns, data should be gathered from a central source. Many organizations, unfortunately, find it difficult to decide which of the above solutions should be used.

Scalability

According to realtimecampaign.com, many businesses end up with SAP integrations that fit their current needs but leave little room for growth. Integration infrastructures should be able to handle the volume of data a company creates now and in the future.

Technical Abilities

It takes significant skill to build connected SAP integrations and seamlessly combine applications from various vendors. To succeed, departments need knowledge of and experience with each application's architecture. SAPinsider gives end users and leaders the tools they need to get ahead.

Maintenance and Upgrades

SAP integrations come with a lot of middleware, and its support should be able to handle upgrades in SaaS and SAP. These costs should be included in the maintenance budget for any SaaS-SAP integration.

Migration

Since the start of the computer age, migrations have been a persistent challenge. Migrations allow companies to access current applications, reach lower TCOs for integrations, and fund their tools. When companies migrate their interfaces as new tools are built, they protect themselves from future failures. As new SAP blockchain applications target B2B collaboration, businesses will find it easier to stay up-to-date.

S/4HANA Integration Projects

Many users are unsure about moving to S/4HANA. While some have made the switch, others are still on the fence. While simple updates allow companies to use most existing integrations, full migrations, as previously stated, make it easier to maintain funding.

Skill Requirements

SAP's comprehensive solutions and its selection of integration methods, quickly create complicated software delivery and development environments. To address these complexities, companies must hire or build SAP development teams including members with specialized skills.

Given their mission-critical nature and complexity, SAP integrations can take weeks. As these projects progress, other requests may become backlogged, creating frustration among end users. Even when work starts moving again, what appears to be a small feature request may take significant time and effort.

The Bottom Line

To overcome these challenges, businesses must choose the right technologies, approaches, and tools for their teams. With a set of best practices and an appropriate strategy, companies can effortlessly share data between departments.
