Case Study: Honda achieves faster global CAD data transfer and lower costs with NTT Global Networks

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. lowers data transfer costs by 30% with NTT Global Networks

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. faced challenges in establishing a globally standardized method for transferring large CAD design files with its international suppliers. The use of nonstandard protocols and even traditional mail was slowing product development and hindering the creation of a flexible supplier network for business continuity. To solve this, Honda partnered with vendor NTT Global Networks to utilize its Biz Storage File Transfer and Enterprise Cloud services.

The solution implemented by NTT Global Networks leveraged its global datacenters and expansive network to create an integrated infrastructure called the Global Supplier Network (GSN). This provided a fast, secure, and standardized portal for data transfers. The results included faster product development and a 30% reduction in total data transfer costs, while also enabling Honda to manage its supply chain more effectively.
