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.

Velocity Clinical Research Partners with Palantir to Solve Clinical Trials’ Payment Headache

DURHAM, N.C., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Velocity Clinical Research (“Velocity”), the leading fully integrated site organization, has announced a strategic partnership with Palantir Technologies (“Palantir”) to automate and streamline the notoriously complex payments reconciliation process in clinical trials. This collaboration marks a milestone in applying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to one of the industry’s most persistent administrative challenges.

Reconciling invoices and payments in clinical research has long been a fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone task. Sites often use multiple siloed systems to manage invoices, while Sponsors and CROs maintain their own financial systems, creating inconsistency and inefficiency.

Velocity and Palantir’s automated reconciliation solution integrates Palantir’s agentic AI technology with Velocity’s proprietary workflows. The application successfully processed and reconciled customer payment report entries, saving Velocity’s Finance Collections team a significant amount of time and freeing them up to work on high-value tasks.

The partnership between Velocity and Palantir represents a significant step toward modernizing clinical trial operations and unlocking efficiencies that will benefit sponsors, sites, and, most importantly, patients.

Raghu Punnamraju, Chief Technology Officer at Velocity, said: “Velocity’s partnership with Palantir is one more example of how our size and scale is bringing new types of partnerships and innovation to the clinical trials sector. Automating the AR reconciliation process is a game-changer for clinical trial sites. Our collaboration turns months of manual effort into near-instantaneous insights, enabling our finance teams to focus on strategic, high-value work instead of wrestling with spreadsheets. ”

Payments, frequently tied to patient visits or performance-based milestones, vary significantly across studies and sites. This variability makes forecasting revenue, managing cash flow, and aligning payments with budgets extremely challenging for finance teams.

Velocity’s journey to address this issue began last year when its technology team piloted generative AI (Gen AI) agents to identify missed revenue opportunities, such as unrecorded monitoring visits. This initiative laid the foundation for a broader automation project. When Palantir approached Velocity to explore life sciences use cases for its advanced AI technology, automating accounts receivable (AR) reconciliation quickly emerged as a natural fit. Velocity brought deep clinical operations expertise, while Palantir contributed its industry-leading AI systems and modeling capabilities.

With financial workflows now automated through this partnership, Velocity is exploring opportunities to expand intelligent automation into other operational areas, aiming to build a continuously learning financial system that optimizes processes while keeping human experts in the loop. The ultimate goal is to empower teams to focus on strategic growth and patient-centered outcomes.
