| Thanks to the economical benefits, ASP and
BPO are a in strong demand. More and more companies make use of application
service providers or outsource their complete business processes to specialised
third parties. Inherent to this development, the reliance on the supplier
becomes larger. With a specific escrow arrangement, the risks can be considerably
reduced. With ASP, applications such as CRM or payroll software
are used from a distance. This has a number of important advantages on issues
such as user friendliness, maintenance and installation. Another consequence
is that important data – such as customer data or salary administration
– are stored on the servers of the ASP supplier. If the application
fail and and the data is no longer accessable, it will have extensive economical
and organisational consequences for the user. With business process
outsourcing, the user depenedence to the supplier is even greater. As a
dependent user, you must take the unthinkable into account. For example,
what if the supplier enters in to liquidation? In case this type of event
occours, a SLA or exit plan is often inadequate to guarntee continuity.
For this reason, BPO escrows are key to secure the continuity of outsourced
business processes. Every ASP or BPO escrow is a custom made escrow
arrangement combining software escrow, data escrow and full documentation
of ICT-infrasturcture and alternative configurations. If you want an uninterupted
usage of all business critical ASP and BPO services then please contact
