About Guard-IT Corporation

Founded in 1999, Austin-based Guard-IT is a privately held Texas corporation that provides software escrow services to technology developers, their licensees and legal counsel in the U.S. and abroad. Guard-IT's client base spans more than 30 countries and ranges from small software developers to Fortune 100 companies and from small municipalities to large federal agencies.

Guard-IT's executive team brings together more than 60 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, and is key to helping customize the best possible escrow agreement for your situation.

In 2002, Guard-IT introduced its paperless Client Tools system to automate the creation of software escrow agreements, and expanded its international operations into Toronto. The year ended with Guard-IT's acquisition of Fidex Americas Corporation, an Idaho-based competitor.

In 2010, Guard-IT was selected as one of only a few preferred software escrow providers for Microsoft's "Certified for Microsoft Dynamics" developer accreditation program (see news release).

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 applications to deliver comprehensive business management systems. It helps identify Microsoft Dynamics solutions that have been tested for compatibility, meet high quality standards, and are successfully used by existing customers.
