Mission-critical technology is everywhere, and you depend on it every day. Failing to protect mission-critical technology puts your business at risk... you can’t afford not to safeguard your reliance on it.
Protect your mission-critical software source code with:
Business Challenge
You need to protect your investment in technology.
You want to make sure your source code is safe and will be accessible if needed. You’ve decided to use an escrow solution, but what’s the process? How do you know your source code will be well cared for? And if a situation arises where a software application needed to run your business becomes unavailable, will the escrow deposit materials contain everything you need to recreate that software?
What if you cloud
When a software escrow contract is established, the source code for that software is placed within a secure escrow account held by us. If the developer is not able to support its product at some point in the future — whether due to a bankruptcy, an end-of-life announcement, or a merger, acquisition or strategic partnership — the user who has licensed that software contacts us to request a release. We then contact the developer, and if the release conditions are satisfied, the source code is released to the user.
