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.

Lakeside Software Named a Leader in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Employee Experience Management Tools for Second Consecutive Year

BOSTON, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeside Software, the first AI-driven digital employee experience company, has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Management Tools for the second consecutive year. The Magic Quadrant evaluated 16 vendors and recognized Lakeside as a Leader based on its strengths and cautions among other vendors.

“Digital employee experience management tools measure and help IT continuously improve employee sentiment toward and the performance of company-provided technology. They continuously surface actionable insights, drive self-healing automations, and optimize support and employee engagement via the near-real-time processing of aggregated data from endpoints, applications, employee sentiment and organizational context. These insights enable self-healing and can enhance employee interactions with self-service portals and chatbots. They also help IT support, asset management, procurement and other teams whose work depends on reliable information,” states the report.

“We’re honored to be recognized once again as a Leader by Gartner in the DEX category,” said Mike Schumacher, CEO of Lakeside Software. “Enterprises are increasingly looking to AI-driven insights to improve digital experiences, and it all starts with data you can trust. For more than 25 years, Lakeside has provided the deep visibility and high-quality telemetry needed to power smarter decisions, reduce IT friction, and create more productive digital environments. In our opinion, this recognition reaffirms our commitment to delivering intelligence that drives measurable outcomes.”

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Employee Experience Management Tools evaluates vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision. According to Gratner, “Leaders exhibit strong execution and vision scores and exemplify the functionality required for IT organizations to continuously evaluate and improve DEX. Leaders have the broadest set of capabilities, strongest roadmaps, a larger installed base and cover the most geographic regions and industries.”

Lakeside continues to gain momentum in 2025, strengthening its position as a trusted partner in proactive, AI-driven IT operations and digital employee experience. This year, the company launched the SysTrack Mobile Experience, extending real-time visibility beyond the desktop to support today’s increasingly mobile and distributed workforce. As enterprises look to execute digital transformation initiatives, realize stronger ROI, and create more satisfied, engaged employees, Lakeside is delivering the insight and visibility they need to move from reactive IT to strategic impact.
