A virtual dataroom is a secure repository to share information with third-party organizations. They typically perform due diligence when major business events take place such as mergers and capital raising or acquisitions. During these events sensitive information is exchanged together with a large quantity of documents.
The goals and needs of the business must be considered when selecting VDR features. These features may differ based on the stage of the business that is in the seed stage. Smaller companies are more focused on investor presentations, while businesses in the growth stage put a greater priority on business models and market trends. However every data room should offer a clear and effective narrative and ensure that all information is reliable and accurate.
To meet these requirements the top data rooms offer an array of document viewing and editing features. These include secure PDF printing, download, editable documents such as ppts, and the capability to view documents in their original formats. Additionally, granular access rights and a robust tracking system ensure that all parties have access to the information they require.
Other key features of the data room are a powerful and flexible search engine, dynamic watermarking and multilingual support. Dynamic watermarking can include an individual message as well as the recipient’s email or IP address to documents, thereby helping to prevent unauthorised sharing. The redaction tool of a data room can also quickly black out text and images and prevent the accidental disclosure of personal or sensitive business data. A data room must also allow users to upload documents in large quantities and arrange them in logical order, dividing them into folders that match the project’s structure.
