When it comes down to the sensitive files shared in M&A transactions, there is no room for errors. Data breaches, miscommunications, and other mistakes that could cause deal disruption cost a lot of time and money and can cause a snag in an entire transaction. VDR solutions today provide greater security and performance at only a fraction of the cost of older technologies.
The best virtual data rooms platforms are user-friendly and flexible, designed to meet the requirements of a specific workflow or transaction. You can customize the virtual data room with the features and permissions you require while permitting authorized users access advanced due-diligence tools including watermarking, role based security, antivirus scanning, and two-factor authentication.
For example CapLinked’s hierarchical tags permit administrators to arrange a virtual data room into sub-categories of documents based on the type of file, which can help speed up the due diligence process. You can track document viewing activities using a variety of reports, including a “heatmap” by user group as well as different charts that show who has viewed which documents and for how much time.
Private equity and venture capitalists firms often look at several m&a platforms: analyzing synergy potential and integration challenges deals at once, bringing in reams of data that require structure. The ability to bulk upload documents and then organize them into easily navigable folders and groups can speed up the due diligence process and allows you to close more deals in less time.
