EBS joins forces with Escrow provider NCC
August 2010

Software Escrow helps reduce the risk of depending on a third party to supply your business-critical software.That’s why we at EBS Europe are working in partnership with NCC Group - the world’s leading independent escrow provider - to offer you business continuity protection with a customised escrow agreement.

While most organisations rely on third parties to support their business software, depending on the availability of one single supplier to support and maintain an application can present a high element of risk.

NCC Group already protects over 15,000 customers worldwide with the most comprehensive Escrow solutions available. Their clients include both end-user organisations (like you) and software suppliers (like us), who use Escrow to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to customers and to best practice.

The EBS Escrow Solution has been specially designed to assist customers who are increasingly dependent on our products. As a straightforward process, we supply NCC Group with a copy of the source code of your application, which they will hold securely on your behalf. This will then be updated at regular intervals to ensure that the source code held is always up-to-date and reflects the current version of our product. This ensures that, should we ever be unable to maintain our contractual obligations, the material you require can be accessed and released quickly and legally, allowing you to carry on without disruption.

Anthony Barlow, Managing Director of EBS Europe, said: “EBS and NCC Group have built a strong business relationship over time. NCC Group is a trusted partner which is vital when dealing with key strategic activity such as Escrow and our account manager is on hand to guide customers through the process of establishing an escrow agreement and the fees involved.”

NCC Group also offer full verification services - an excellent way of confirming that everything is in place for our customers and ensuring continuity for their business systems.
