The Escrow Agreement allows a company to control its specific external resources and anticipate a crisis situation linked, for instance, to the termination of support or disappearance of the supplier of a product or software it uses.
The ultimate purpose of the Escrow agreement is to ensure that the contract beneficiary has access to the repository containing the constituent items of the said software or product previously deposited by the supplier.
The Escrow Agreement thus provides a guarantee against supplier failure.
