SES Blog

The Master Multi Licensee Agreement SES have created is designed to allow you to offer Software Escrow protection to all of your clients, regardless of the application or version that they are using and without having to pay additional setup fees.

Following on from last week’s article where we discussed the topic of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), retaining IP, key developer knowledge and how Software Escrow can help with the M&A process, we began thinking about the Cyber Security risks involved with these transactions.

The number of mergers and acquisitions being considered or in progress is on the rise. Only recently we have seen numerous acquisitions in the Financial, Technology and Pharmaceutical sectors, but what draws organisations to merge with or acquire one another and how can you protect your investment?

ISO: 9001 and ISO: 27001 certifications are fundamental to the way we operate here at SES, which is why we have just recertified both ISO: 9001 and ISO: 27001 certifications to the latest set of standards.

For nearly two decades, SES has constantly challenged ourselves to deliver innovative, industry leading solutions which exceed our customer’s expectations.

Many businesses utilise Software Escrow to protect their key licensed software applications, recognising the criticality and importance of these applications to their businesses, and understanding that securing access to them protects the future continuity of their organisation.

It’s easy to discount Escrow without fully considering the risks of not protecting your most critical applications. If you were unable to access your CRM, Logistics or Finance applications, what would the implications be to your business?

Here at SES we see Software Escrow as a fundamental protection, ensuring your business’s continuity. Escrow provides assurances that you can retain access to your business critical applications and that your business will remain operational in the event the supplier of your applications is unable to support them.

Over the past 12 months we’ve experienced solid growth and it wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of you, our valuable customers.

As your organisation procures more third party applications to perform critical business functions and streamline operations, it is increasingly important for you to ensure that these applications are protected with Escrow.

It is common practice for your clients to request Escrow as part of contract negotiations with you when licensing your applications to perform critical business functions and streamline their operations because Escrow supports the licence and protects their investment.

To your clients, Escrow is seen as a prerequisite when licensing critical applications from you as it secures their investments and guarantees access to the critical applications they depend on.
