A virtual data room is a digital repository to store and distribute documents that can be shared, organized and tracked under the administrator’s control and discretion. This is a great way to support complicated business processes and projects which require the disclosure of confidential documents to third parties outside the firewall.
The most frequent use for online data rooms is in M&A transactions to aid in the lengthy due diligence process that buyers typically undergo. All relevant documentation being stored in one place allows for a faster and more efficient review, and aids in ensuring confidentiality.
Investment banks are among the top users of VDRs. They can be used by both the buy-side as well as sell-side in financial transactions like mergers and acquisitions. They have to review and access a large number of sensitive documents, which requires an efficient storage system and collaboration among multiple stakeholders across different locations and time zones.
Life science companies operate in highly controlled environments, with multiple partners and investors, and have to provide a large amount of sensitive documents regularly. For instance, they frequently need to prepare for an IPO or raise funds. VDRs are a safe place to share and collaborate, with detailed activity tracking that allows you to determine who has accessed what documents.
The top data room providers provide numerous features that simplify document management and collaboration with a more efficient user experience, simple multi-project management, the capacity to assign specific permissions to different users, as well as a 24/7 dedicated support team. They also provide flexible pricing options, with many offering an annual subscription plan that offers a lower price per project, as well as the ability to pause and start projects at any time.
