Software Escrow

Escrow Validation


What is it?
For extra peace of mind many companies opt for our Object Validation Test. This service validates the completeness and likeness of the complied source code held by Intellect Enterprises with those objects held by the User(s).

How does it work?
With the co-operation of the Owner, the source code held on the originating native environment is compiled into objects.

An object level compare/validation test is then made between the objects held by the User(s) and the objects created from the complied source code held by Intellect Enterprises.

What are the benefits?
Escrow validation offers higher levels of software security for both Users and Owners because:

  • deposits received are validated at the object level for completeness and likeness
  • object validation tests are conducted within the Owners originating environment of the source code
  • an object validation test report is issued to the Owner and the User(s) on the agreement
  • all test assets including the object validation test report are stored together with the source code deposit
