The Escode Division

The Escode division is a leading global provider of software resilience and business continuity solutions with over 18,000 customers worldwide and offices all over the world. We recently completed the exciting acquisition of Iron Mountain’s Intellectual Property Management (IPM) business. Together, the two businesses offer a rich, complementary set of services to customers globally, including industry leading software verification solutions and, excitingly, a cloud resilience proposition: Escrow-as-a-Service (EaaS).

As a combined business, IPM and our Escode division are now the market leader in software resilience services globally. Together we remain committed to investing in helping customers improve resilience as the technology landscape continues to evolve and are focused on delivering maximum value to customers, and creating a workplace where sales, technical and operations teams can be themselves and do their best work.

In March 2019 we Launched our EaaS cloud offering. This is a marketing leading cloud escrow solution, where we have since seen triple digit % growth over the past two years. This solution is underpinned by deeply embedded cloud technologies and include a mixture of legal and technical consultancy services that are sold to customers worldwide
