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.

Cloud Services Solutions Celebrates Over 20 Years of Expertise in ERP Integration and Digital Transformation

After more than two decades in the enterprise technology space, Cloud Services Solutions is celebrating a major milestone in its journey. Officially founded in 2017, but built on over 20 years of combined hands-on experience, the consultancy has emerged as a trusted advisor to organizations seeking to modernize their operations through cloud-based ERP systems. For founder Stephen Roche, this moment reflects not only the evolution of technology but also the importance of thoughtful, human-centered transformation.

“I’ve been in the enterprise space since 1995, and what’s stayed constant is this: success doesn’t come from the software. It comes from the people, the planning, and the process,” says Roche. Under his leadership, Cloud Services Solutions has helped public agencies, universities, and commercial enterprises take the guesswork out of selecting, implementing, and managing ERP systems, always emphasizing strategy over software sales. The firm’s work spans vendor selection, integration support, project rollout, and, most critically, change management.

At the core of the company’s process is what they call the Client Assessment Matrix, a structured discovery phase that uncovers the nuances of each organization’s operations. Rather than assume what a client needs, the team asks thoughtful, open-ended questions to understand the business from the inside out. These include considerations such as whether a company has recently undergone mergers or acquisitions, what its internal structure looks like, and what regions or jurisdictions it operates in. The goal is to surface any red flags early on, such as conflicting regulatory requirements between countries or regional staffing gaps that could derail a rollout.

Roche notes that many of the ERP projects that fail do so not because of incompatible software, but because of poor planning and misaligned resources. Too often, companies assign internal staff who are already overextended and expect them to lead implementations that can require additional hours weekly. Others will assign personnel based on certification rather than real-world experience, a choice that can compromise projects costing millions. Cloud Services Solutions not only identifies these issues during its assessments but also provides qualified backfill personnel to ensure that business-as-usual doesn’t suffer during transformation efforts.

The firm’s work is inherently global, supporting organizations across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. A major part of their process is ensuring that communication flows smoothly between headquarters and regional offices. Too often, projects are derailed because corporate offices assume regional teams are aligned or available when, in reality, those regions are pursuing different initiatives or are already stretched thin.

Cloud Services Solutions mitigates this risk by organizing joint kickoff meetings with all regional stakeholders, establishing steering committees, and ensuring executive buy-in before any major rollout begins. This collaborative, inclusive structure is designed to prevent miscommunication and build trust, especially when internal teams don’t yet understand the value of the systems being implemented.

Looking to the future, Cloud Services Solutions is now expanding its focus in two key directions: artificial intelligence and the Middle East. The firm sees the Middle East as a strategic region for growth, with its increasing investments in digital infrastructure and AI-driven business processes. Roche emphasizes that the company’s AI advisory services are not about chasing hype, but about making smart, context-specific recommendations.

He points out that while many vendors rush to offer AI solutions, the reality is that AI is changing rapidly, and integration must be both strategic and cautious. The firm works across ecosystems to identify the right AI-powered tools for ERP, CRM, and marketing initiatives, always grounded in what best serves the client's long-term goals.

Cloud Services Solutions continues to resist the one-size-fits-all approach that dominates much of the ERP consulting world. Instead of pushing a single platform or pre-selected vendor, the company presents clients with multiple tailored options, each vetted against their business needs, budget, and five-year outlook. This vendor-agnostic stance, combined with deep sector experience, makes them particularly effective in high-stakes environments where the margin for error is slim.

As Roche puts it, “It’s a competitive field out there. Whether you’re building new infrastructure or acquiring another company, you can’t afford to guess your way through it. The decisions you make today will shape your competitiveness tomorrow. And you need the right strategy, people, and systems to get it right.”
