A vdr (virtual data room) is a digital storage space to share documents and files with other parties in a safe manner. It is accessible via a web browser or software system, and offers granular document control, activity tracking, Q&A messages, and other tools that facilitate project collaboration. It is a great tool for businesses that are involved in business transactions or other processes which require large quantities of sensitive information to be shared with various parties.
Investment banking processes such as IPOs capital raising, IPOs and M&A require a lot of information sharing. Using a VDR to store and look over these important documents can help speed up and simplify the process and reduce risk.
Other industries that utilize a vdr are immovable property management (land and housing), technology, and biotech/pharma. These industries often have to share confidential information with clients, third parties lawyers, investors, or clients. Using a vdr provides the security to do this and eliminates the requirement for costly face-to-face meetings or couriering physical documents.
When selecting a vdr service provider, look for one that has extensive experience supporting business processes similar to yours. Be sure to ensure that the vendor provides support that is truly all-hours, every day of the year (including evenings and weekends). Also, make sure that your vdr service provider offers in-app chat and phone support in a variety of languages and that their client support representatives understand the nuances of your industry. This will allow them to provide speedy and accurate assistance when issues arise.
