Software Escrow From SES
A Flexible & Agile Solution
Software Escrow Agreements permit an independent specialist to hold and test a copy of the application source code to make sure it is accurate, complete and can be compiled independently in the event of a release.
This protects you against the ‘what if’ scenarios and puts you in control of your 3rd party software investments, offering you assurances and continuity for the investments you make.
SES provides a range of Software Escrow agreements, source code contract management and Software IP Solutions that compliment all aspects of software security whether they are locally installed, hosted in the cloud or sourced through reseller or distribution channels. Essentially, Software Escrow should be part of any software contract negotiation.
Escrow is no longer about casting fear and doubt. Setting up an Escrow Agreement is now considered good practice and makes your business more attractive to prospective customers, especially if you offer cloud based applications.

How Does Software Escrow For On-Premise Applications Work
Because businesses have unique requirements when it comes to Software Escrow protection, all of our Escrow agreements are completely bespoke. However, the diagram shows a simplified Software Escrow cycle.
Software Escrow protects your 3rd party licence agreements and ensures the continuity of your business. An independent Escrow agent is legally permitted to hold and validate a copy of a software application’s source code, including all relevant documentation on behalf of the software user (Licensee).
If the supplier is unable to maintain the service, the code and supporting documentation can be released to the Licensee so that they or an alternative 3rd party can continue to maintain the application.
