Software Escrow

A Word to Christian Leaders Today

If you’re considering investing in software to run your ministry, nonprofit, school, or business — don’t just ask how it works. Ask what happens if the company behind it doesn’t. Ask whether your investment will be protected. At Convene for the Cities, the answer is yes — because we planned for your protection long before you needed it.

We don’t just develop with excellence. We steward with foresight.

Because our mission is bigger than the software—it’s the people, the purpose, and the promise it serves. We’ve seen the wreckage. That’s why we’ve built a lifeboat!

Your Software Shouldn’t Disappear

“Protect your mission from vendor vaporware”

Standing Guard: Convene for the Cities ensures continuity, confidence, and control — even when others collapse.

In the wake of the dot-com collapse, thousands of solid businesses and ministries were blindsided — investing tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars into software built by start-ups that vanished overnight. These weren’t bad decisions by bad leaders. They were hopeful partnerships with companies chasing second or third-round funding… until those companies collapsed, leaving behind nothing but vaporware and disappointment.

TQI Solutions, the parent company of Convene for the Cities, stood in that fire. But we didn’t just survive it — we responded with foresight and integrity.

At the request of the Fortune 500 companies we served — including General Electric, TQI began establishing software escrow accounts to protect our clients’ investments. It wasn’t just a technical solution — it was a matter of trust. In fact, TQI will celebrate 29 years of partnership with GE in 2025 — a testament to the lasting value of transparency, protection, and quality.

And today, that same ethos lives on in Convene for the Cities.

... Just Because They Did

We Heard the Stories—And We Refuse to Let It Happen Again

Convene for the Cities isn’t just another platform with slick features and fast promises. We are part of a family built on integrity, innovation, and the kind of character that Fortune 500s demanded—and that ministries and Kingdom businesses deserve.

We’ve sat across from leaders in tears after being burned by software companies that vanished.
We’ve walked with networks who lost access to their systems because there was no plan B.
And we’ve committed: “Not on our watch.”

That’s why Convene for the Cities is the only organization of our kind offering full software escrow account protection for our clients. Our proactive measures mean:

  • You will never lose access to your tools, your systems, or your data.
  • You are backed by a legal and technical covenant of continuity.
  • You are protected—no matter what happens to us or any affiliate.

Why Don’t Other Providers Offer This?

It’s a fair question. When you hear what software escrow actually is, you’re left wondering:
“Why haven’t I heard about this before?”
“Why didn’t the last company offer this?”

And that’s the problem.

Convene for the Cities offers it—because we’ve walked through the fire, we’ve listened, and we’ve built a platform that safeguards your mission. While others cut corners, we build guardrails. While others sell the dream, we protect your reality.

Built for the Long Haul—With You in Mind

Integrity. Assurance. Quality. These aren’t marketing phrases—they’re the foundations of TQI and Convene for the Cities. Whether we’re serving a global business, a local church, or a faithful nonprofit, we treat your calling like it’s our own—because it is.

In a world of shiny tech and shaky promises, we invite you to work with a platform that doesn’t just talk security—it guarantees it.

We’re standing guard, so you can move forward with confidence.
