About Guard-IT
Founded in 1999, Austin-based Guard-IT is a privately held Texas corporation that provides software and intellectual property escrow services to technology developers, their licensees and legal counsel in the U.S. and abroad. Guard-IT's client base spans more than 36 countries and ranges from small software developers to Fortune 100 companies, and public-sector entities ranging from small-town municipalities to large federal agencies.
Guard-IT's executive team brings together more than 65 years of combined experience in software escrow services, IT systems and e-commerce development, intellectual property matters and corporate contract law. This unique combination of disciplines provides depth and insight to meet your most specific software escrow or intellectual property escrow needs.
In 2002, Guard-IT introduced an industry-first, paperless Client Tools system to automate the creation and management of escrow agreements. It was a busy year, as 2002 ended with Guard-IT's acquisition of Fidex Americas Corporation, an Idaho-based escrow competitor.
In 2010, Guard-IT was one of the first escrow providers in the world selected by Microsoft to satisfy its escrow requirement for the "Certified for Microsoft Dynamics" accreditation program (see news release).
Guard-IT's innovative Self-Service portal, flexible terms, competitive fees and professional service all merge to create unparalleled customer experience when escrowing source code, proprietary data, technical documentation, trade secrets and other intellectual property.
