What is software escrow?
Software escrow is a legal arrangement where the source code and other important materials of an application are deposited with a neutral and independent escrow agent subject to a legal agreement between the software end user, vendor, and ESCROWSURE.
The objective of an escrow arrangement is to provide comfort to the end user that if the software vendor is unable or unwilling to support the software, the code, and other critical materials can be released to them ensuring the end user’s ability to update and maintain the software, thereby protecting their business continuity.
We believe every business deserves the best possible protection against unplanned business interruptions caused by third party software.

How does software
escrow work?
The 8 stages of software escrow
with ESCROWSURE:
Is your software on-prem or cloud hosted?
On-prem software
On-prem software is installed and runs on a company’s own hardware infrastructure, and is hosted internally. In contrast to cloud hosted software which is stored on the hosting provider’s servers, and accessed through a web browser.
Cloud hosted software
Cloud hosted software also known as SaaS is accessed over the internet. This software is not installed on the hardware located on the premises of the end user, rather it is hosted by remote servers, maintained and updated by the service provider and available to users via web browsers, mobile apps and API’s.
