Does your business rely on critical third-party software, technology, data or documents?
Software source code, technologies, and certain data or documents are the trade secret of the developer and are not accessible to the client.
However, in order to maintain and further develop the business or production, the buyer must be able to have access to this source code or data.
Now what if the developer stops providing services, goes out of business, is bought up by a competitor, goes bankrupt, or is unable or unwilling to provide support?
If the source code, these technologies, data or documents has been deposited with swissEscrow, your company will have straightforward and rapid access to them in such situations.
Software Escrow is virtually your insurance for when the developer is no longer available.
