To learn all the facts about significant events, such as mergers and acquisitions, or capital raising, you will have to go through tens of thousands of highly confidential documents. In the past, the only way to get all the information needed was to look at physical documents.
Modern datarooms for due diligence allow interested parties to collaborate on files without compromising security, or exposing sensitive information unintentionally. What can you do to determine which companies are worth the cost when you evaluate them? Look for a combination of basic and advanced features. Look for a user-friendly interface that encourages collaboration and keeps everybody on track, and look for smart tools such as personally-identifiable watermarks, a unique document tracking mechanism perfect for M&A due diligence processes, and a full audit trail of all file activity.
A feature that is important to look for when considering a project is its ability to modify access rights for different groups of users. This allows you to assign print, read, and download rights to certain stakeholders within the project. You can then ensure that sensitive documents are protected from malicious external activities or internal mistakes. This can also prevent accidental uninvited exposure.
The best online data rooms can also provide detailed reports of all file actions within your project. This includes who has viewed which files at what times and who carried out what actions on the files, and the amount of times certain files have been printed or downloaded. With this insight you can have an accurate picture of your due diligence data room usage and make the most of the tool for future projects.
