One of the first questions enterprise customers ask when evaluating a business-critical SaaS platform is:
"What happens if your company no longer exists?"
For decades, the standard answer has been source code escrow.
But in reality, traditional escrow often means:
❌ Access only after bankruptcy
❌ Outdated source code
❌ Outdated documentation
❌ No certainty the software still builds
At BICon.digital, we believe there is a better approach.
Our customers can receive read-only access to a maintained repository from day one.
This allows them to:
✅ Perform technical due diligence
✅ Verify the repository is actively maintained
✅ Understand the architecture before any continuity event
If a continuity event ever occurs, customers don't suddenly receive an unfamiliar codebase. They simply obtain broader licence rights to the very same repository they have already been able to inspect.
Why this matters today
AI is fundamentally changing software engineering.
Modern AI coding agents can analyse repositories, explain architectures, generate documentation, identify dependencies and help maintain complex software systems. Continuing the development of an existing application has become significantly more realistic than it was just a few years ago.
That makes repository access more valuable than ever.
At BICon.digital, we believe enterprise software licensing should evolve accordingly – providing transparency, trust and business continuity from day one, rather than only after something has gone wrong.
Business continuity starts on day one
