Choosing Your Data Room Software

Virtual data rooms (VDRs), which are secure storage areas for confidential documents, often come to mind when a business has to store them. These tools are employed across various industries during due diligence for M&A divestiture, capital raising or any other deal that requires access to sensitive information.

Using the proper tool for due diligence can save time and money by keeping everyone on the same page and the process moving. Simple file sharing tools work well for simple uses, but sharing intellectual property and other sensitive information during a sale requires a sophisticated solution that provides advanced features, security, and control.

When selecting a VDR think about how it will integrate with other software you are using. A great VDR platform, for example allows you to easily connect tasks within Asana to documents stored in the VDR. This lets you see the entire picture of the project all in the same application.

Another important feature to consider is a complete audit trail that provides visibility into who has access or modified files within your VDR. This is especially important for industries that are regulated by law, such as finance and healthcare. Unauthorized access to files can lead to grave consequences.

In the end the VDR should offer flexible subscription plans to meet the needs of any business. When you have to start or stop and extend projects at will or simply upgrade to more storage space, the top VDRs provide flexibility and security that your business’s requirements will always be fulfilled.
