PRAXIS Supports

PRAXIS’ PROFESSIONAL & ENTERPRISE service levels include automated escrow depositing services to ensure our clients have more updated escrow deposits as well as to remove the administrative burden of manually making escrow deposits.

PRAXIS’ clients using GitHub, BitBucket and many other similar code archiving systems can connect directly to their Digital Deposit account. This connection is easily established when our clients make their PRAXIS Digital Deposit account a “collaborator” within their code archiving system. PRAXIS’ engineers can assist with this at no additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

The automation of the escrow depositing process represents the largest and most significant innovation in the software escrow industry in recent history. Simply put the pace of software development has accelerated to the point where most software developers (on-premise and SaaS) are using some form of an Agile development methodology. This means that they are pushing out source code level changes quite frequently, in many cases weekly or even daily. What that means is that traditional software escrow updating processes (typically include shipping of CDs or DVDs and or submitting materials through secure FTP) virtually guarantee that the escrow deposit materials will be outdated. These traditional methods are manual and cumbersome to the point that most software companies cannot afford the resources to have someone update the escrow deposit materials weekly. PRAXIS invented the automated escrow process in 2016 once we fully understood the impact of Agile development on the quality and freshness of the escrow deposit materials. With the PRAXIS solution, all escrow deposit materials are updated on a weekly basis and all previous versions are retained to build out a complete archive over time.
PRAXIS has created a way to connect directly to most commercially available source code archival systems (i.e. GitHub, Bitbucket, TFS & many more) to allow our clients to automatically keep their escrow deposit materials updated. The initial connection is typically a very simple process and no additional software is needed. Once connected PRAXIS will monitor the system and in the unlikely event any of the repositories become disconnected we contact our clients directly. Essentially once the solution is connected PRAXIS eliminates all of the administrative burden on the software company and the escrow deposit materials are updated automatically each week. Further, PRAXIS has automated the notification process so that both the depositor and the beneficiary receive quarterly updates containing the details of their account activity.

The greatest majority of all of PRAXIS’ new software and SaaS escrow clients rely upon the automated escrow solution  to reduce costs and administration.
