Axiom File Fixer application

there is nothing else that does this function, after  we lost v7 Edg.

It is more a case of  how expensive  is  your data to repair or  replace it.. when I worked at our international airport  our  data was backed up all the  time but some  data was 20 years of accumulated  changes to the  layout of the floor plans of the entire  terminal and shared ref all the time so if a  corruption or loss  of data it could take weeks to rebuild from contractor updates of individual site  plans .. so to keep the  health of the main important  files we  used axiom to scan  them often as many users making changes daily and  several sources and data types, often  it is this  external data copied from or imported  from autocad etc that can lead to corruption, also they had some weird cache server system that if  msnt crashed  you  loose the entire session of  changes not just the last thing so for the few times a year we  needed axiom it was worth the  money.. also axiom offers subscribers assistance with difficult  files that wont  repair properly 

Hey nobody likes  paying for insurance  but its still cheaper than paying to replace your house after it burned  down, right? so its  just  insurance but I recommend running the file scan tool often to make  sure you prevent  corruption  getting to the  point  of failure and  this will at least show results ie reports and  justify the renewal cost. In order to keep the cost down just  get one  license  for a  nominated user  like the  cad manager or  you most senior  experienced microstation user, but it depends  on how many people work in your company but be careful not to be penny wise and pound  foolish .. if your company  makes a few million a year  income then a  few hundred if not  thousand  a  year is  insignificant  to prevent file or data corruption going  unchecked. In my work if a stop sign would be  lost and undetected  could  potentially lead to loss of  life ..  and  legal liability nightmare.
