M&A transactions require sharing large amounts of information with multiple stakeholders. A virtual dataroom can be a secure platform for sharing files that streamlines due-diligence processes, improves collaboration, and reduces the risk and cost for both parties. With advanced security features, such as multi-factor authentication sessions, timeouts for sessions, location restrictions, granular user access rights, and more, VDRs are a great option for ensuring that VDR enables simplified M&A document management and compliance.
A VDR can also be used to share confidential documents with external parties without putting at risk compliance or privacy regulations. For example, a company might require communication with board members that do not utilize the same equipment. In these cases the use of a VDR can facilitate the exchange of crucial information across email, secure file sharing managed file transfer, or application programming interfaces (APIs).
VDR providers offer a range of pricing options, including per storage, per page and per user. The best choice for you is determined by how much data you'd like to store, how many users you want to invite, and any additional features that you may require. You should choose a vendor with a trial offer so that you can try the software to see whether it's suitable for your needs.
A VDR's configuration should be intuitive and simple enough for both a CFO and an entry-level accountant to grasp. It should also provide extensive deployment options and a single sign-on for all projects. Additionally, it should provide support 24 hours a day.
