Flexible software escrow solutions for today’s technology.
At PRAXIS Technology Escrow, we are an independent third-party that protects your technology data and source code. We provide solutions for software escrow, source code escrow, SaaS escrow, technology escrow, trade secret escrow, and automated escrow.
The PRAXIS team has over 20 years of experience in the software and technology escrow field. Our lineage dates back to the late 1990’s with Fort Knox Escrow Services (later acquired by Iron Mountain). This is where our base of knowledge for flexible software escrow solutions and excellent customer service began. We continued to hone our escrow industry knowledge and refine our flexible services as founders of Escrow Associates, LLC (later acquired by The NCC Group). With this essential industry background and experience, everyone on the PRAXIS team knows first-hand how to help clients easily navigate through flexible escrow solutions, and to help all parties involved.

Chris Smith
Founder & CEO
Creating innovative software and technology escrow solutions has been a 20-year journey and a continuing passion for Chris. He has a unique ability to recognize and incorporate new technologies into software and SaaS solutions, eliminate administrative burdens and increase escrow deposit quality and functionality.
Chris began his career in the software escrow industry in the late 1990’s as a Director of Sales with Fort Knox Escrow Services, Inc. where he learned the value of flexibility and outstanding customer service. After Fort Knox’s acquisition by Iron Mountain Incorporated, Chris and several of his fellow directors founded Escrow Associates, LLC with the purpose of continuing the tradition of providing client-focused and innovative escrow solutions. Chris and his partners grew Escrow Associates, LLC into the world’s third largest provider of technology escrow services. In 2011, Escrow Associates was acquired by the NCC Group PLC.
PRAXIS Technology Escrow, LLC was founded specifically to continue to provide innovative solutions to address major software trends that have rendered most software escrow solutions obsolete. A few examples of our innovations include the creation of the first automated escrow solution in 2016 and the continued evolution of SaaS continuity solutions such as data storage, server management and hot site solutions to keep business critical applications running when SaaS vendors fail.
