One thing I have always tried to remember when people ask "Why?", is to try to think of the end result of the Cable Plant you wish to have. Is this something you can be proud of, and something your CIO would like to show off to his colleagues? More importantly, is this something that is useable when you get that call at 2:00AM saying "'X' piece of equipment is down, please come in to take a look." In a matter of minutes you know where everything is and can easily eliminate or target a physical layer problem. Those are the times you will thank yourself that you took the extra effort to ensure you have a sound professional cable management design.
As far as cable management goes there are many schools of thought around this subject. So while there is no one right answer, I will provide you with the ammunition you need to deploy an efficient cable plant which will go a long way to supporting your environment well into the future.
