The company’s world-wide technology group provides technical services for all business units within the company. A particular business unit was transferring information from a mainframe via CD to their customers. They wanted to add compression to their process to save storage space.

The business unit reached out to the technology group with requirement specifications for assistance in finding the right solution. The key requirement was finding a solution that would be interoperable across all platforms to ensure every customer could access the data. The company also wanted to find a solution that would provide LPAR licensing.

When the company first contacted PKWARE, they inquired about PKZIP. After further internal discussions, they came to realize the importance of adding security to their processes to ensure the sensitive information being transferred remained protected. While they considered implementing a secure pipe infrastructure, they chose SecureZIP because it could quickly and easily provide both the compression and security the company needed without disrupting their existing process or requiring additional infrastructure investments.

Since SecureZIP is built on the ZIP file format, the de-facto standard in compression, the solution is completely interoperable and can be easily transported. In addition, PKWARE could provide LPAR licensing. The company’s world-wide technology group moved forward with SecureZIP as it met and exceeded all of their requirements and expectations.
