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.

Concentrix Releases Independent Survey Results: Enterprise Priorities and Generative AI Adoption

NEWARK, Calif., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concentrix Corporation (NASDAQ: CNXC), a global technology and services leader, today released findings from an independent survey conducted by the Everest Group of over 450 enterprise leaders from around the world and across sectors. The survey explores emerging enterprise priorities in today’s rapidly changing environment, how companies are thinking about leveraging generative AI, the partners they choose, and how they plan to invest.

The results suggest that instead of playing defense with prioritization on cost-cutting and compliance, companies are going on the offense — focusing on intelligent transformation, using AI to fuel innovation, modernize tech stacks, and reimagine customer experiences for their brands. As pressure mounts from rising market competition and increasing customer expectations, the research underscores a clear focus: value creation and AI-human collaboration are now central to enterprise strategy, particularly in key sectors like Banking and Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare and Technology, and across all geographies.

Top 5 notable findings and insights:

  • Technology implementation, modernization, and leveraging AI/analytics and enhancing customer experience are top enterprise priorities, ahead of cost reduction and productivity, driven by rapid advancements in technology and more demanding customer expectations.  
  • Enterprises are prioritizing net new outsourcing and generative AI budget allocations over the next two to three years, signaling a shift toward investment in long-term transformation rather than short-term efficiency gains. 
  • Role augmentation remains the dominant workforce strategy, with the view that generative AI will complement rather than displace roles, reinforcing the value of blended AI-human models.
  • Enterprises value partners who offer end-to-end transformation capabilities, especially those who can operationalize customer-centric goals with scale and governance.
  • Concentrix is considered as frequently as several IT services and AI tech software providers for enterprises seeking partners to design and build their generative AI transformation initiatives, higher than any other CX player.

Enterprise Priorities and Generative AI Adoption Trends

“Enterprises are valuing proven execution models that de-risk transformation and accelerate time to value. Providers that lead with scalable transformation, integration-first design and domain-aligned delivery will be best positioned to win enterprise partnerships,” said David Rickard, Partner, Everest Group.

"The results of this study reinforce our confidence that Concentrix is well positioned as the go-to partner for intelligent transformation. Our investments in leading technology, deep expertise, and our fully integrated end-to-end capabilities uniquely position us to serve our clients as leaders in their markets today, and well into the future," said Chris Caldwell, President and CEO, Concentrix.
