Introduction
Bridgestone, a Fortune Global 500 and global leader in tire manufacturing and other diversified products, constantly deals with high volumes of data shared across multiple departments and external vendors. This data often includes intricate design files, client databases, and proprietary algorithms, usually compressed into zip files to make sharing more efficient. However, they encountered a severe obstacle when they discovered critical zip files had become corrupted, jeopardizing both workflow and delivery timelines. To resolve this critical issue, Bridgestone chose DataNumen Zip Repair as their go-to solution.
The Challenge
In January 2006, Bridgestone’s R&D team was deep into the development phase of an eco-friendly tire model expected to revolutionize the industry. The project involved inter-departmental collaboration, with large zip files regularly being exchanged. During this crucial period, a zip file containing essential design schematics, patent drafts, and material testing results became corrupted. Early attempts to recover the file using generic software such as WinZip and WinRAR failed, amplifying the team’s anxiety as the project deadline loomed closer.
Initial Triage
The immediate focus was to understand the scale and scope of the corruption. The company’s in-house IT department spent hours using traditional methods to salvage the corrupted data but was unsuccessful. It became clear that a specialized solution was required to tackle this specific problem. They needed software that was both quick and reliable to prevent any further delays in the already tight project timeline.
Solution Selection
After conducting a comprehensive review of available options, DataNumen Zip Repair was selected for its high recovery rates and ability to deal with very large zip files. The software’s reputation for speed and efficiency was another deciding factor.
