Full Verification

Many of the applications used in today's business are very complex pieces of software and would be very time consuming to build without detailed instructions.

Why do you need Full Verification?

Your escrow agreement provides you with the protection and assurance that you will be able to access the source code of your software application even if your software owner is unable to carry on maintaining and supporting the software.

However, it is vital that you also consider the level of assurance needed that the material deposited in escrow is complete and correct.

For key business critical applications you need a higher level of assurance to guarantee that all the required files and instructions have been deposited in escrow so that you can utilise the material effectively and speedily in the event of a release.

Full Verification is strongly recommended for all business critical applications.

Benefits of Full Verification

• Independent assurance that the source code deposited in escrow will build into the working application.
• Assurance that all the necessary source code files, build scripts and utilities have been stored in the escrow deposit.
• Assurance that the full documentation of the build process is stored with the source code and available for immediate use in a release event.
• Vital input to disaster recovery and contingency planning.
• A core element of risk mitigation for core business critical applications.
• Protection against a disaster recovery scenario in which either the licensee’s premises or the software owner’s premises are involved.
• Protection against loss of key software development staff by either the software owner or the licensee.
