Whether you are preparing for an IPO, considering an M&A or considering selling, it’s important to understand the way a virtual data room operates. VDRs are an essential tool to aid in the process of negotiating deals and provide security, usability and accessibility that traditional collaboration platforms cannot match.
The VDR enables companies to share massive amounts of documents with potential investors, partners, and buyers in a secure environment. With the use of granular permissions administrators can limit access and capabilities on a user-by-user basis. You can limit the ability to download, print and rename documents. You can also track the user’s activity down to the page level, and keep an audit trail.
You can import documents from Google Drive, One Drive and Dropbox into the VDR. This reduces time and ensures that all pertinent information is accessible to the due diligence process. It can also help you avoid mistakes or redundant information in the process. Digify’s VDR also offers a secure and intuitive way to conduct Q&A sessions with stakeholders during the due diligence process. This allows for any questions to be answered quickly and effectively and speeding up the process.
It is crucial to consider the requirements of outside users and how they wish to interact with the documentation when inviting them to visit the VDR. Some users will require full access to documents, whereas others may only need limited access. For example, legal counsel may require access to corporate records of the company however investors might only require access to financial statements, business plans and other documents that are related to the investment.
