Snap-On Diagnostics Selects Paragon Software

Paragon Software Group, in data security and data management solutions, has been selected by Snap-on Diagnostics, part of Snap-on Incorporated, to provide disaster recovery software to protect the company’s newest handheld diagnostic tool, VERUS.

Snap-on is a leading global innovator, manufacturer and marketer of tool, diagnostic and equipment solutions for professional tool users. VERUS is Snap-on’s powerful, fully integrated handheld diagnostic tool used by professional service technicians to manage the vehicle, the diagnosis and the repair — all in one unit. It provides the answers that technicians need to do the repair right, the first time.

When looking for a software partner that would give professional technicians the ability to perform a full factory restore, key among Snap-on’s requirements were functionality and time to market. According to Snap-on Diagnostics’ Director of Marketing, Mark Schaefer, "Having a recovery solution immediately available in the field was one of our most critical selection criteria in this process, and we did not have any time to waste. Paragon quickly distanced themselves from the competition by delivering development services that were customized to our specifications in record time — all while providing exceptional responsiveness through their tech support team."

Paragon’s System Recovery 7.0 provides an efficient way to quickly recover the operating system and settings, along with all system and data files. In the event of a system crash or hard drive failure, Paragon System Recovery CD/DVD will boot from a single key stroke of the "Restore" button, restoring the operating system to its original state and eliminating time consuming re-installations, software configurations and system downtime.

"Unplanned system downtime can be traumatic and often catastrophic for small and medium sized businesses, as it can lead to revenue loss and other significant business interruptions," noted Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group, Americas. "Paragon’s System Recovery was designed with custom projects in mind and can be easily made to fit exacting specifications, giving customers the peace of mind and confidence that comes with knowing that their data is protected."
