Software and SaaS: records from closed and closing companies
If you control the assets of a company in the software and SaaS sector that is in administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, its operational records may be licensable. Here is what usually exists, what needs care and how to check fit.
Key niche
Years of structured tickets, documentation and decision trails across many systems: the kind of records AI developers look for.
What usually exists
- Support tickets with full resolution threads
- Product specs, roadmaps and release notes
- Engineering wikis and code review history
- Team chat across product, sales and support
What needs care
- Customer data inside tickets must be de-identified
- Source code may be subject to licences or escrow
Employee and HR records always need the most care, whatever the industry.
Systems to look for
- Zendesk, Intercom or Freshdesk
- Jira, Linear or Asana
- Confluence or Notion
- GitHub or GitLab
- Slack or Microsoft Teams
Export while admin access still works.
SMEs (30 to 249 staff)
- Act within weeks. Software subscriptions lapse after closure and exports disappear with them.
- One person usually knew every system. Get their help with exports before they move on.
Enterprises (250+ staff)
- Start with a data map: systems, owners, years, volumes and where personal data sits.
- Carve out privileged, regulated and client-confidential material before any sample is prepared.
