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.

The Top 5 Analyst Questions From Veeva Systems’s Q2 Earnings Call

VEEV Cover Image

Veeva Systems’ second quarter results drew a negative market reaction despite the company beating Wall Street’s expectations on revenue and non-GAAP profit. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to strong execution across its R&D and commercial product lines, including continued momentum in Crossix and Vault CRM. CEO Peter Gassner highlighted the resolution of the long-standing dispute with IQVIA as a major step forward, stating, “We can begin to learn about each other and partner for the benefit of customers.” The team also pointed to broad-based customer adoption and stable demand across its core markets, though some products like Compass faced resistance to change.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.

Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Veeva Systems’s Q2 Earnings Call

  • Ken Wong (Oppenheimer): asked about the impact of the IQVIA dispute resolution. CEO Peter Gassner explained it removes past barriers, allowing for new data integrations that benefit customers.

  • Joe Vruwink (Baird): inquired about the growing role of Quality Cloud and AI’s influence on the five-year plan. Gassner stated quality remains on track, and AI will expand Veeva’s market size, though revenue impact will be gradual.

  • Dylan Becker (William Blair): questioned how Veeva’s platform and structural advantages support further AI adoption among top enterprises. Gassner asserted their system-of-record status provides a “right to win” as customers embed more intelligence in workflows.

  • Stan Berenshteyn (Wells Fargo Securities): asked about the dollar opportunity for Nitro and Network following the IQVIA agreement. Gassner characterized the financial upside as similar to other add-on products but expects broader commercial suite adoption.

  • Rishi Jaluria (RBC): probed whether AI agents can ease Vault CRM migrations. Gassner replied that while migration tools are improving, AI agents themselves do not directly accelerate the process, though AI’s value may drive eventual adoption.

Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters

In the coming quarters, our analysts will closely monitor (1) progress on early AI agent deployments and customer feedback, (2) tangible revenue contribution from the expanded IQVIA partnership and new commercial suite integrations, and (3) the pace of Vault CRM migrations among large pharmaceutical clients. Continued strength in Crossix and the ability to scale business consulting alongside new AI projects will also be important markers of execution.

Veeva Systems currently trades at $270, down from $294.12 just before the earnings. At this price, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it’s free).
