We work closely with government bodies and major enterprises, and partner with technology providers delivering critical software for some of the GCC’s largest infrastructure projects.
Modern businesses run on third-party software. But what happens if a vendor faces insolvency, is acquired, or discontinues support?
That’s where we come in.
Escode’s Software Escrow and Verification Services help you stay prepared by:

✔ Supporting the continuity of critical systems to minimise disruption.
We support both regional and international businesses across the Middle East and wider region, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
We work with organisations across a range of industries where software availability, control, and continuity are critical, and where regulatory expectations and governance requirements drive the need for greater oversight of third‑party software and supplier risk.

✓ Global reach with services available in 135+ countries.
✓ Flexible, tailored software escrow services.
✓ In-house software escrow technical & legal experts.
