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.

AdvicePay Releases Third Annual Trend Report, Revealing Growth in Subscription-Based Financial Planning

By: News Direct

--News Direct--

AdvicePay, the industry-leading platform for managing billing, payments, and compliance of fee-for-service financial planning, released its third annual Fee-for-Service Industry Trend Report. The findings, based on over 461,000 transactions processed in 2024, highlight a growing trend in subscription-based models – an increasingly popular choice for advisors seeking stable and predictable revenue streams amid volatile markets.

The report reveals that subscription-based models continue to dominate the fee-for-service landscape. In 2024, a substantial 85% of all invoices were subscription-based, up from 83% the previous year. This shift marks a continued rise in the popularity of monthly and quarterly subscriptions, as well as a notable increase in the fees charged for these services. Specifically, advisors raised their average monthly subscription fees to $278, up 4.9% from $265 in 2023, while quarterly subscriptions saw a 1.4% increase, and one-time fees grew by 2.9%.

The trend toward higher subscription fees and a preference for digital payments also reflects broader changes in client behavior. In 2024, over half (53.4%) of all transactions were completed using credit or debit cards, while 45.9% were processed through ACH transfers.

These findings underscore the growing adoption of subscription-based models across the industry. Despite common misconceptions, the report highlights that fee-for-service planning is not replacing assets under management (AUM) fees, but rather providing a complementary revenue stream. In times of market volatility, fee-for-service financial planning offers advisors a more stable and predictable income, akin to a "bond" in an advisor’s income portfolio. As AUM fees fluctuate with market conditions, advisors are leveraging fee-for-service models to reach new, underserved demographics and secure steady cash flow.

“Adoption of the fee-for-service model is no longer a niche trend, it’s a strategic necessity for broker-dealers and RIAs aiming to remain resilient and competitive in recruitment and retention of both advisors and clients,” said Alan Moore, Co-Founder and CEO of AdvicePay. “The sustained growth across key metrics signals that subscription-based planning is becoming a core part of financial advisory firms’ revenue strategies. It allows firms to expand their client base, offer flexible pricing, and mitigate the risk of market volatility.”

The increasing popularity of fee-for-service planning is further evidenced by the growth in transactions on the AdvicePay platform, which processed 461,000 transactions in 2024, up from 380,000 the previous year. Since its public launch in 2018, AdvicePay has processed over $838 million in financial planning fees, firmly establishing fee-for-service financial planning as a mainstream and essential business model.

Released just last week, the 2025 Trend Report already has over 400 downloads to date. To receive a copy of the full report, which includes analysis of over two million data points, please visit https://info.advicepay.com/trends.
