Problem - Contractual Requirements for a Suite of Critical Software Applications
The NHS commissioned a third‑party developer specialising in EQA Programme Management to build a suite of critical software applications. As part of the contractual requirements, SES was asked to propose a comprehensive Software Escrow Solution that would ensure the application deposited into Escrow was complete, accurate, and capable of being effectively redeployed in the event of supplier failure.
Solution - An Individual Software Escrow Agreement
SES proposed an Individual Software Escrow Agreement between the three contracted parties, tailored to meet a series of bespoke contractual requirements and ensure the arrangement was fully fit for purpose. As part of the implementation, SES conducted a Remote Source Code Validation exercise, confirming that in the event of a release, both the application and its data could be successfully redeployed within a third‑party environment.
Outcome - Assurance that Escrow Assets are Complete, Accurate, and Fully Re-Deployable
The NHS has complete peace of mind knowing that the assets held under Software Escrow are complete, accurate, and fully re-deployable. SES’s comprehensive Remote Code Validation testing provides a fully documented audio and visual build report, giving the NHS clear evidence that the application can be successfully rebuilt and deployed whenever required.
