| "Certified
for Microsoft Dynamics" (CfMD) Chooses
Guard-IT for Software Escrow Services AUSTIN, TEXAS (OCTOBER 7,
2010) -- Guard-IT (www.guard-it.com) has been selected to
provide software escrow services to software
developers in Microsoft Corporation’s (NYSE:
MSFT) “Certified for Microsoft
Dynamics” (CfMD) ® accreditation program.
Certified for Microsoft
Dynamics
(CfMD) is a solution certification achieved by
Microsoft Dynamics partners whose software
solutions have met Microsoft Corporation’s
highest standard for partner developed solutions
to deliver comprehensive business management
systems.
Software escrow is
a new requirement for CfMD. Effective
November 1, 2010, partners will need to meet the
escrow requirement to achieve CfMD certification.
Guard-IT preserves
the developer’s intellectual property
(software, source code, data, etc.) while
protecting licensees’ interest in the
technology, by providing contingent access to the
source code in the event the developer ceases
operations.
Guard-IT will be
holding source code and data on behalf of CfMD
partners and their licensees.
"We are
thrilled to be part of the CfMD program, "
said Guard-IT's founder and CEO Jim Ford.
"Our online tools make it very easy for
partners to get their escrow in place
and meet the program requirements."
Ford
said that Microsoft's escrow requirement for
CfMD accreditation is an important step
toward wide-scale use of software escrow.
"CfMD's escrow
requirement highlights the
importance of software escrow and it models
a proactive, good-sense approach to protecting
your technology assets," Ford said. "I
expect many other developers, corporations and
government agencies to follow suit with escrow
requirements for all of their IT projects."
