Each year, Claritum make a deposit with the NCC of the Claritum System Code at that point in time.  No data is part of the deposit.

Continuity 'Hand Over'

In the event of Claritum ceasing to exist, the code is released to the client who is then entitled to install the software on their own servers and continue the service themselves.

The client would have their own (or access to) IT expertise in installing such systems (i.e. configuring web hosting servers, operating systems and web server software as well as the Claritum System Software itself) and would have made their own provisions for continuity of their data

IMPORTANT: ESCROW provides a basic level of business continuity, however, clients should be aware of its limitations. Under an ESCROW agreement, Claritum lodge source code and/or data with a 3rd party ESCROW provider on an agreed basis e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually. The ESCROW provide securely stores the code and usually provide optional additional services such as code verification and enhanced security. In a Business Continuity event (e.g. Claritum ceases trading), the ESCROW provider releases the code and/or data to the Client. It is the Client’s responsibility to provide suitable hardware, operating systems and infrastructure to set up and run the Claritum environment. For most businesses, this will result in considerable additional down-time, hosting costs and the requirement for suitably qualified resources to manage the environment. We therefore. no longer. recommend ESCROW as a viable business continuity solution.

Claritum have partnered with NCC to provide ESCROW services to clients.
