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.

Cloudvirga integrates Horizon POS with Stewart Valuation Intelligence to streamline appraisal ordering

News Source: Cloudvirga Inc.

Integration gives lenders and borrowers more transparency, faster turn times and fewer manual steps in the appraisal process

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Cloudvirga, a Stewart-owned provider of digital point-of-sale platforms for lenders, today announced the integration of its Horizon POS with Stewart Valuation Intelligence, LLC (SVI), a national provider of appraisal management and residential real estate valuation services. Borrowers applying on a self-serve basis can request an appraisal directly, while loan officers can initiate and manage orders when completing an application on a borrower’s behalf.

The result is a simpler, faster appraisal process that eliminates manual handoffs and keeps both lenders and borrowers informed at every step. By reducing friction and improving transparency, the integration helps lenders shorten cycle times and deliver a more consistent borrower experience.

Lenders decide how tasks are triggered: automatically upon intent to proceed, or by the loan officer sending a secure link to the borrower. Each request is first routed to the loan officer for review before being released to SVI, ensuring details such as FHA case numbers can be added when needed.

SVI then assigns the appraisal through its ValueGuard software to the lender’s contracted AMC, which may include SVI itself or another AMC in the network. Real-time status updates—from order acceptance through inspection and report delivery—flow back to Horizon, where loan officers and borrowers can view the appraisal securely. The integration also supports revision requests, order holds and cancellations, with SVI handling payment collection through its secure system.

“This integration removes a long-standing friction point in the mortgage process,” said Kendra Walters, director of product development for Horizon at Cloudvirga. “By bringing SVI’s appraisal technology into Horizon, we’re giving lenders a more efficient way to manage appraisals and giving borrowers the same consistency and transparency they expect from every other part of the loan process.”

“SVI is committed to appraisal innovation that improves lender efficiency and borrower experience,” said John “J.R.” Raftery, director of valuation strategy at Stewart Valuation Intelligence. “Working with Cloudvirga extends that commitment by embedding our valuation technology directly into the loan workflow, where it can make the greatest impact.”
