From ticketing to scheduling and even freight management, software plays a crucial role in the rail industry.
But what happens if access to that software is lost? Or a vendor fails? In an era where disruption is the new normal, building resilience is key to protecting vital systems.
Software escrow ensures operators can access critical software source code and components for continuity even in worst-case scenarios.
In an industry that’s increasingly stress-testing supply chains, it demonstrates that you’re taking control.
1. Operational risk management
Ensures you can easily recover access to the key assets that underpin your critical scheduling, signalling and maintenance software.
2. Intellectual property assurance
Supports collaborative development and long-term partnerships with software vendors by preserving ownership of software source code.
3. Third-party risk management
Ensure access to source code in the event of the developer ceasing operations or failing to fulfil their commitments.
