A virtual dataroom (VDR) is a software which lets you store and share digital files in a structured way with other people. VDRs can be useful in a wide range of situations such as M&A as well as investment banking processes such as IPOs and capital-raising, and due diligence for real estate. In all of these instances, many stakeholders must look over and scrutinize the documentation prior to making a decision. This is why a virtual data room comes in particularly useful.
When choosing a VDR make sure you choose a vendor with a solid security system that provides the security necessary to protect uploaded data. Be sure that the vendor offers a full audit log and a suite of data-driven AI tools that can streamline due diligence and assist in decision making. The most reliable providers will provide physical security measures, such as redundant datacenters as well as business continuity plans and regular penetration tests.
Other features to consider are document annotation, Q&A sections and the capability of assigning tasks. Choose an interface that is easy to use and eliminates barriers in collaboration. This will reduce time spent on training, troubleshooting, and other tasks. Finally, ensure that the VDR provider provides top-quality technical assistance via in-app phone/email, multilingual assistance and dedicated managers and teams.
