Just like with any other services you have in place, sometimes it is in your best interest to transfer to another provider.
Sometimes it's because the quality of customer service no longer meets your expectations or maybe the prices have risen beyond what you have budgeted.
For example, when is the last time you've shopped around for car insurance quotes?
I'm sure many of us haven't and only because we've been with the same provider for so long it's one of those "out of sight, out of mind" type things. Your software escrow account is most likely on that list of services that gets overlooked.

With the new year here and finances a bit tighter it can't hurt to start shopping around again. Think about your experiences holistically - customer service experiences with your current vendor, the billing/accounting processes, the flexibility of your vendor and the cost - are they competitive and willing to negotiate?

Transferring your software escrow agreement or agreements should be a rather smooth process and could potentially save you a great deal of money.

Some questions to consider when reviewing the possibility of transferring:
  • What will my organization gain from transferring?
  • How much money will I save if I transfer?
  • If I have multiple agreements, can I consolidate them once I transfer?
  • What does this new software escrow vendor offer that the current one does not?

As with transferring anything in life, whether it's a bank account, auto title, or software escrow agreement, the whole process can seem a bit daunting.
Discuss with the potential software escrow vendor your concerns and ask them how they plan to make this transition as seamless as possible.Also be sure to review their testimonials to see what other clients have to say about their experiences.
