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.

Ataccama ONE available on Snowflake Marketplace, integrates Document AI

BOSTON, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ataccama, the data trust company, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2025, the availability of its unified data trust platform, Ataccama ONE, on Snowflake Marketplace. The launch includes an integration with Document AI, enabling enterprises to turn unstructured content, such as contracts, invoices, and PDFs, into structured data by running models directly within Snowflake.

According to IDC, unstructured data now makes up the majority of enterprise information and is growing by over 55% each year. Yet much of it remains siloed, unmanaged, and difficult to operationalize. 95% of businesses struggle to manage their unstructured data, and more than half report it as the most difficult type of information to govern. Most organizations still do not know what is hidden within their unstructured data. This blind spot creates operational risk and undermines the value of AI. As enterprises increasingly use unstructured data to power large language models and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications, managing the quality of that data has become critical to building trusted and reliable AI.

Ataccama ONE and Document AI allow organizations to unlock value from unstructured information. Enterprises can turn documents into structured records by using natural language prompts, such as “What is the effective date of the contract?”, which are processed by Snowflake’s Arctic-TILT large language model to create structured outputs written directly into Snowflake tables. Ataccama ONE connects to these tables to profile the data, apply quality checks, and manage governance policies on the structured outputs. It also tracks how the data flows into analytics, reporting, and AI workflows by capturing lineage at the table level. Additional metadata about the original documents can be added to enrich traceability if needed. This reduces manual work, strengthens trust in the data, and enables repeatable, reliable workflows across the business.


“Unstructured data is an untapped data source as real business context lives there, but it’s also the hardest to govern,” said Sam Wong, Senior Director of Data & AI of a global beverage company. “Documents, contracts, and communications contain the terms, conditions, and risks that structured systems miss. Without a way to extract, validate, and manage that information at scale, AI lacks the foundation it needs to be reliable. With Ataccama ONE and Document AI inside Snowflake, organizations can turn thousands of documents into trusted, structured data. That will give us improved analytics, enhanced data quality, and a better foundation for powerful and trustworthy AI.”

“Unstructured data remains a black box for most organizations, even as it becomes critical for AI and business operations,” said Jay Limburn, Chief Product Officer at Ataccama. “Without a way to structure, govern, and trust that information, enterprises risk missing the full value of their data. Ataccama ONE combines data quality, governance, observability, lineage, and master data management in a single platform and now extends those capabilities to unstructured content. This allows organizations to improve trust and confidence in all their data, structured and unstructured alike, and build a stronger foundation for AI, analytics, and operational decision-making.”

The integration allows users to:

  • Extract structured data using natural language. Teams can specify the information they want to pull, such as “What is the payment term?”, and quickly transform unstructured documents into structured outputs without custom coding. 
  • Make extracted data immediately usable for reporting, analytics, and AI. Outputs are written directly to Snowflake tables and are ready for use across BI tools, operational dashboards, and AI model pipelines without requiring additional transformation.
  • Continuously monitor the quality of unstructured data. Ataccama ONE applies automated profiling and rule-based validation to ensure extracted fields meet enterprise standards, helping teams detect inconsistencies and manage risk early.
  • Scale and standardize document processing across teams. Document AI models can be trained and reused in Snowsight, enabling consistent extraction across contracts, invoices, policies, and other document types at scale.
  • Eliminate data movement and simplify governance. All processing, validation, and governance workflows run natively within Snowflake, reducing integration complexity, improving security, and accelerating time to value.

“Ataccama’s presence on Snowflake Marketplace reinforces the value of our integrated platform approach that allows our partners to bring their innovative solutions to market within the Snowflake environment,” said Kieran Kennedy, VP, Data Cloud Products at Snowflake. “With this solution, joint customers have the power to streamline document extraction, ensure data quality, and accelerate insight delivery, all within a governed and scalable environment.”
