What is Software Escrow?

Software escrow is the process of securely storing your software’s source code, data, and critical materials with a trusted third party. If your vendor fails to fulfill their obligations, such as discontinuing support or going out of business, you’ll gain immediate access to these materials, ensuring business continuity and protecting your software investment. This is crucial for businesses relying on third-party software and looking to mitigate vendor risks and avoid disruptions.
