Due Diligence with Intelligence: Bowne Virtual Dataroom

What Is a Virtual Data Room?

A Virtual Data Room (VDR) is a dedicated Web site providing access for authorised users to an on-line repository of due diligence documents relevant to a particular transaction. Documents are stored in an easy-to-read electronic format on a central server, accessed via the Internet.

Why Use Bowne Virtual Dataroom?

Secure. Confidential. Cost Effective. Flexible. Bowne Virtual Dataroom eliminates the need for a physical deal room where buyers, attorneys, accountants and others would gather for extended periods of time to review documents.

With Bowne Virtual Dataroom, authorised parties can simultaneously review documents around the clock, while sellers control the process from their own desktops. Encryption software, multiple firewalls, virus detection, and other continually audited measures keep documents secure.

Deal managers are able to minimise internal disruption, focus on operations, and avoid speculative attention. Your due diligence can be completed in days instead of months – without travel expenses, scheduling hassles and costly delays.

The Virtual Dataroom Advantage: We Recognise that Every Deal is Different.

Your deal is unique. Shouldn't your VDR experience be the same? Superior people, processes, and technology make Virtual Dataroom the best full service VDR on the market.

Because each deal is unique, we match a project manager and team with a client according to the specific expertise required. Our team includes attorneys, bankers, M&A experts, IT and other professionals with contextual knowledge who can communicate easily with their client-side counterparts.

Document gathering and imaging (paper or electronic data, in any format, from wherever it is housed) is performed by highly-trained professionals who can work at your site or at one of four regional centres: London, Frankfurt, Paris or Milan – the choice is yours.

Unparalleled Customer Service.

Deal site construction and hosting are only where our VDR service begins. Our enhanced project management service includes providing immediate response to your evolving needs, whether content modification, buyer access, or index consultations.

Our project management call centre and technical support are available around the clock. End user support is also sophisticated. Users can chat live with customer service from within the site 24/7 (an industry first) or call our free phone support number 00800 DEAL ROOM (3325 7666) and speak directly to a knowledgeable representative – in any one of over 150 languages.

Power Drives Simplicity.

Many VDRs claim to have simple-to-use interfaces, but few deliver. Virtual Dataroom hides all complexity and provides simple navigation and management. The simplicity, however, still delivers the most powerful document and user management options.

The deal manager can add/remove and edit documents and users in minutes. Documents can be read-only, printable or downloadable and tailored to each user (or group of users) and, for the highest level of security, can even be watermarked and prevented from being "screen shot."

User activity is tracked closely while logged in and deal managers can instantly produce user and document access reports viewable online or downloadable with just one click.
