Despite the many differences between them, investment bankers are awed by the finer details of potential deals. They are involved in M&As and other financial transactions that require sensitive information. To increase the efficiency of these processes they make use of virtual data rooms to share files and collaborate with both internal and external parties. In the past, these conversations were carried out through email threads that were hard to manage and prone to mistakes. But using a VDR platform, everyone has access to the same documents, reducing misunderstandings and delays.
The ideal virtual data room is easy to set up, and easy to use, and provides the appropriate level of security for every user. Consider a flat-rate price to prevent overages in the course of the project. Additionally, the top providers offer support 24/7/365, which includes holidays and weekends. Furthermore, you should consider the number of supported languages and the ability to work with dedicated team members.
A good VDR includes a user interface that can incorporate logos and colors of the company. Make sure the platform is compatible with a variety of operating systems and devices. Ensure that your VDR provider is equipped with the appropriate security certifications. For instance, it should have at a minimum ISO 27001, SOC 1/2/3, GDPR and HIPAA. In addition, it should have advanced features like redaction and fence view that blacks out parts of a document to protect personally-identifiable information.
