Companies that are involved in an M&A deal must communicate confidential information to investors and advisors. In a virtual data room (VDR) it is possible to be done in a secure and controlled environment which is far more efficient than meetings in person and can facilitate a smooth due diligence process.
To make a dataroom user-friendly the structure of the folders must be clear and logical with documents and folders clearly labeled. This will make it easier for buyers to find the documents they’re looking for more quickly and also reduce confusion.
It is crucial for users to be able add notes on documents that only accessible to them, so they can write down their thoughts and raise questions. The best VDRs come with a variety of annotation tools including highlighting, underlining and adding comments, and the possibility of drawing on images to create note boxes. This is a simple but effective feature that can improve overall collaboration.
Another feature that is important is the click to read option to add an FAQ section to the data room that is able to be used for general inquiries and specific queries related to files. This will make it simple to monitor and respond to queries, while some providers even permit questions to be referred to experts in order to offer professional assistance in a timely manner.
To ensure that all data is protected, it’s essential that a data room offers full security features. This should include granular permissions at the folder and document level, two-factor authentication, and the watermarking of files. In addition, many data rooms provide reports on all user and activity actions to help with compliance and surveillance.
