The VDR platform offers a new method of working with multi-document deals that involve any number of participants. Forget endless email threads with groups of documents being tossed across the room or the changes that are constantly lost or misplaced throughout the process. Instead, all stakeholders can view and comment on the same documents inside a secure virtual data room while having full access to important documents. It’s easier to see potential deal issues and opportunities when everything is organized and clear. With FERPA compliance as well as GDPR compliance, HIPAA compliance and eIDAS integrated, it’s more straightforward than ever to fulfill all regulatory requirements in M&A.
A great vdr is one that provides a contemporary user interface that is intuitive and is accessible via tablets, desktops and mobile devices. It should also include common features such as drag and drop publishing, a real estate broad variety of file format support and simple data room setting up. It should also offer security features such as active watermarking and two-step authentication to stop the theft of passwords audit logs, secure browser connections (https ://), and 24/7 monitoring.
In addition, a quality VDR for M&A should provide end-to-end functionality that supports your process from the initial review through closing the deal integration. It should also include access controls, such as custom end user roles, limitations, and announcements. It should as well control the rubber stamping process and download of sensitive information to shield your information from being accessed by unauthorised parties. This is an option that is often neglected by other VDRs.
