Figures from the first Business Impact Tracker report issued by the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC) present concerning, yet unsurprising reading for businesses affected by the current global pandemic. 

An increasing number of organisations rely on 3rd party developed, business critical applications which are delivered through a hosting provider such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model. 

You’ve gone through the process of finding the right developer, scoped your needs, had the application developed and implemented and your employees have been trained to use it effectively. You’ve got so much invested in the application, its critical to your business, so what happens when you’re no longer able to use it? 

As one of the UK’s leading Software Escrow agents, we’ve heard every myth, challenge and reason in the book why Software Escrow isn’t at the top of your priority list.

As we touched upon last week, SES has always focused on making Software Escrow simple and increasing our security. Simplifying Escrow so that more businesses can benefit from its protection and enhancing security to give our customers the confidence to secure their critical applications with us. 

Software Escrow needn’t be complex or difficult to introduce within your business. It’s designed to provide business continuity by protecting against unforeseen circumstances and, as we see it, more organisations should put it at the top of their priority list.

Business applications are essential in today's world of work. In a world that’s always on, always pushing for the next insight, the next edge and the next innovation which gives us an advantage over our competition, business applications have helped us reimagine the workplace.

When we talk to people, two of the first questions we always get asked are: “what is escrow?” and “do I need it in my business?”.

SES are delighted to have been featured in a customer success story for our strategic partners: HelpSystems and GoAnywhere.

We are well aware of the benefits to businesses of maintaining a healthy supply chain and the impact when the supply chain is not operating as it should, so it worries us that so many businesses are failing to build continuity plans into their supply chain.

In last week’s article we discussed having bespoke applications developed and how a Transfer of IP Agreement protects your investment, ensuring you get what you pay for.
