SNAP-ON DIAGNOSTICS SELECTS PARAGON SOFTWARE FOR DISASTER
RECOVERY SOLUTION
Paragon’s System Recovery Provides Snap-on Diagnostic Solutions Instant ‘Return to
Factory Settings’ in Event of Hard Drive Failure
IRVINE, Calif., April 1, 2009 – Paragon Software Group, the technology leader in
innovative data security and data management solutions, has been selected by Snap-on
Diagnostics 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.”

interruptions,” noted Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group, Americas.
