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.

Duck Creek Technologies Launches End-to-End Payments Marketplace and New Integration with Paymentus

BOSTON, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duck Creek Technologies, the global intelligent solutions provider defining the future of property and casualty (P&C) and general insurance, announces the launch of its Payments Marketplace, a comprehensive payments ecosystem purpose-built for the global insurance industry. The Duck Creek Payments Marketplace offers seamless integration with trusted payment providers and delivers end-to-end payment management for carriers. Duck Creek announced a significant partnership with Paymentus, (NYSE: PAY), a leading provider of digital payment solutions to our marketplace for ease of integration. This partnership brings billions in payment volume to the Payments Marketplace. Together, Duck Creek and Paymentus will serve several global Top 10 insurance carriers as well as large regional insurers as customers. 

Leveraging the Duck Creek Payments Orchestrator, the Payments Marketplace accelerates payment integration timelines to as little as one to two weeks—a significant improvement over the nine to 18 months typically required for direct integrations. Notably, the integration process leverages Duck Creek Payments Orchestrator, offering carriers rapid connectivity without requiring years of orchestration readiness. Duck Creek Payments Orchestrator connects insurers to global payment technologies and providers, supporting both collections and payouts, regardless of existing IT infrastructure.

“Duck Creek continues to innovate with the launch of our Payments Marketplace, which represents a major leap forward in insurance technology and delivers security-focused, seamless payment processing for carriers and their customers,” said Allan Lacoste, Chief Payments Officer at Duck Creek Technologies. “Through strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Paymentus, we're building a robust ecosystem that empowers carriers with both payment flexibility and reliability.”

Carriers benefit from continuous updates, robust redundancy, and enhanced customer experiences. Payments Marketplace prioritizes best practices, certifications, and a thorough vetting process for all partners. This includes adherence to rigorous security standards and seamless compatibility with Duck Creek’s SaaS core systems.

“Through our partnership with Duck Creek, we can deliver our best-in-class electronic billing and payment solutions to a larger, more global customer base,” said Jerry Portocalis, Chief Commercial Officer of Paymentus Holdings, Inc. “Together, we’ll realize our common goal to simplify payments for carriers and help them deliver the best customer experiences for their customers.”
