Escrow Associates Increases Support Staff to Service Unprecedented Growth

Recognized for its state-of-the-art media vault facilities, customizable software escrow agreements and industry leading consultative services, Escrow Associates enters its fifth year by doubling its sales and service support teams to accommodate the demands of its clients and continuous growth.

“While each of the founding partners of Escrow Associates had extensive experience in the software escrow industry prior to forming our company, our initial business model called for controlled growth while we implemented and perfected all of our unique software escrow agreements and services,” says Chris Smith, Vice President of Sales for Escrow Associates, LLC. “We have clearly established Escrow Associates as the premier intellectual property protection company in North America, and we see strong continued growth from each of the distinct market segments we serve – attorneys, software developers and licensees. Escrow Associates is firmly committed to this industry and we have expanded our staff in order to continue to provide the high level of service our clients have come to expect.”

Escrow Associates’ growth can also be attributed to the organizations’ commitment to providing flexible, Tier One software escrow services and media vault storage in Atlanta, London, and Toronto, with each facility typically offering:

• 24-hour security monitoring
• Back-up generators onsite to protect against power failures
• Consistent room humidity controls
• Consistent room temperature controls
• Non-water based fire suppression system, FM-200 gas
• Steel-reinforced construction, wind protection up to 150 mph

“The climate control and hazard protection devices in the media vault undergo regular maintenance inspections to ensure each is functioning properly,” says Christian Dodder, Vice President of Operations for Escrow Associates. “We recognize the critical nature of the technology we protect and go to extreme measures to store it safely and securely for our clients.”

“A great many of our 4,000+ clients have come from referrals and that speaks volumes toward our flexible products and consultative sales and service approach,” adds Smith. “Our expanded sales team has undergone extensive training and we look forward to offering specialized support to new clients as our company continues to grow.”
