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.

RegEd Publishes Report on the Latest Trends in Producer Management and Compliance

Raleigh, NC, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RegEd, the market leader in enterprise producer management solutions for the insurance and financial services industry, today announced the release of its latest whitepaper, “Producer Management and Compliance: Insights on Distribution Management Trends, Technology and Opportunities.” The whitepaper summarizes findings from RegEd’s comprehensive industry survey and delivers a clear message: manual processes and fragmented technology continue to hinder the efficiency, compliance, and scalability of producer management across the insurance and financial services sectors. 

Drawing responses from professionals in licensing, compliance, operations, and distribution across life, health, P&C, and specialty insurance, the survey exposes widespread inefficiencies and opportunities for transformation. More than 80% of respondents cited time-consuming, manual workflows as a primary challenge, with 61% pointing to ineffective technology tools. Meanwhile, just 4% reported having a fully integrated producer management system. 

“This data reveals an inflection point for the industry,” said Jacob Spitzley, Director of Product Management at RegEd. “As regulatory complexity increases and competition for top producers intensifies, firms cannot afford the delays and risks that stem from outdated systems. Automation and integration have become table stakes – they’re mission-critical strategies for staying compliant, accelerating onboarding, and creating a frictionless producer experience that drives competitive advantage.” 

Key Takeaways from the Survey Include: 

  • Manual Workflows Are Costly: 82% of firms report time-consuming manual processes; 50% still track compliance manually. 
  • Technology Gaps Remain: 64% rely on internally developed systems – and among them, 89% cite time-consuming or manual processes as a key challenge. 
  • Technology as Cost Savings Measure: 77% cite technology adoption as their most effective cost-management strategy. 
  • AI Adoption Lags: Just 15% currently use AI in producer management, though interest is growing. 
  • Onboarding Bottlenecks: 70% take one to two weeks to onboard new agents, and none report same-day onboarding – yet nearly half express only neutral satisfaction with their technology, suggesting many have adapted to inefficiencies rather than resolved them. 
  • Compliance Validation Needs Modernization: 67% still use manual checks at business placement, raising Not-in-Good-Order (NIGO) rates. 

Despite these challenges, the report also highlights significant momentum toward modernization. Half of firms plan to invest significantly in producer management technology over the next few years, and many are beginning to explore managed services and AI-powered solutions to ease back-office burdens. 

The whitepaper serves as both a benchmark and a roadmap for firms navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and operational landscape. It offers practical guidance for aligning with best practices and transforming producer management into a competitive advantage.
