Virtual data rooms are indispensable when it comes to sensitive documents, M&A transactions and other corporate transactions. Unlike file sharing tools, VDRs provide secure and professional document management and collaboration when dealing with sensitive documents.
But what exactly is a VDR function? What tools allow users to quickly and efficiently share a large number files with multiple parties, in a structured manner? The most important thing is that these programs provide granular permissions on folder level settings that make it possible to control access to certain files and folders. The ability to alter permissions at the document and folder level makes it easier for administrators to offer different levels of access to users in a flexible way.
Another feature that is important is the built-in versioning control tools that make it simple to manage and provide a clear and clean overview of documents when performing due diligence or cooperating. By allowing administrators to assign folders to different user groups, it is possible for users to only access the relevant documents, and not get distracted by irrelevant information.
Often when companies are seeking investment from investors, they have demonstrate their ability to manage and present large amounts of documents in a speedy and efficient manner. Utilizing a virtual data room for this purpose is extremely effective as it allows companies to showcase its capabilities in a structured way and instill confidence in potential investors. For example, a technology startup seeking funding can submit confidential revenue projections and IP ownership documents into the data room to allow investors to view and make an informed investment decision.
