What Makes Tower 48 Different from Other Escrow Companies?

Tower 48 is a high-tech, secure, inexpensive, simple, and flexible digital escrow service. Originally created for the software industry, Tower 48's offerings have been expanded over the years to escrow any type of digital asset and Tower 48 now serves a variety of industries.

Lawyer's offices and other escrow companies require mailing a CD or DVD with the files to them to be physically stored in a vault. Often, customers of escrow companies simply pay for a certain amount of space in a physical vault (“You will get one cubic foot of storage in our secret vault inside a mountain”), with limited ability to change what is in escrow. Usually a restriction of changing escrowed assets only a few times a year, such as once per quarter, applies. This means the assets in escrow are almost always hopelessly out of date.

The process of escrowing is usually an expensive hassle, and each extra service, such as updating the escrowed assets is associated with hefty additional premium charges. Neither depositor nor beneficiary has much control of or information about what exactly is in escrow. One may know that a DVD has been escrowed, but little information about its contents may be known. At best, a list of files on the DVD may be known, but what exactly is in a ZIP file for instance, or whether the file is corrupt, is uncertain.

Tower 48’s escrow solution is a 100% digital process, enabling secure, immediate updates 24/7, at a very low total cost, and no per-access fees. Tower 48 is owned by a group of leading software developers and legal experts, including Markus Egger, the founder and owner of EPS Software Corp and CODE Magazine. Due to these professionals’ long-time work in legal services and the software industry we understand the needs of our escrow clients and their customers. We have been able to apply this expertise to create the most sophisticated escrow service ever available.

Tower 48 is a state of the art system that allows escrowed assets to be updated anytime and automatically if you desire to create a self-maintaining system. Tower 48 is built on modern, high performance, service oriented architecture (SOA), allowing customized access and seamless integration into your own processes and systems.
