Why do you need a software escrow company?
When negotiating a software license, a prudent licensee may ask, “What happens if the software vendor goes out of business?” What usually follows is a request to access the source code and any other critical materials used to maintain the software.
Software escrow companies serve as neutral third-parties in such arrangements, ensuring the rights of vendors and licensees alike. All parties will have access to mission-critical source code, build instructions, and other information in the event of a pre-determined release condition, such as vendor bankruptcy. Plus, all parties experience peace of mind with ongoing access to a technically verified, up-to-date backup in the event of a breach, technical failure, or natural disaster.
Software Escrow Providers
Granting licensees access to source code or other confidential materials may pose a risk to your business. However, it’s also crucial for building trust and maintaining long-term business relationships. Rather than granting blanket access to your code, source code escrow companies like Escrow Tech grant access to your source code only when specific, pre-determined trigger conditions are met.
Data Escrow Services:
Allow for smoother negotiations
Establish confidence by addressing the concerns of the prospective licensees (including unspoken concerns)
Provide safe storage of source code and other materials with one company instead of scattered across multiple customers
Licensee
Losing access to mission-critical source code (and the materials needed to maintain or update the software) can pose a major risk to your business. Often, gaining access to code and assets is essential for business continuity and maintaining ongoing client trust. However, licensees typically do not need access to the source code unless and until an adverse event occurs.
Software escrow companies help define those release conditions, ensuring licensees gain access to up-to-date copies of source code and materials when necessary. As a result, you’ll have seamless access to up-to-date, technically verified, mission critical data if and when you need it.
Source Code Escrow Companies Provide:
The ability and legal right to maintain, update, and enhance mission-critical software
A reduced chance of significant interruption of, or damage to, your business
Peace of mind by eliminating concerns regarding the software vendor’s capabilities
Business continuity in a dynamic technological environment
