Due Diligence with Intelligence: Bowne Virtual Dataroom™

What Is a Virtual Data Room?

A virtual data room (VDR) is a dedicated Web site that provides authorized users with access to a secure on-line repository of documents. Many applications are for due diligence relevant to a transaction, e.g. M&A but other non-deal related applications are also possible. Either way, documents are stored in an easy-to-read electronic format on a central server that's accessed via the Internet.

Why Use Bowne Virtual Dataroom?

Speed, simplicity, service and security: Bowne Virtual Dataroom eliminates the need for buyers, attorneys, accountants and others to travel and meet for extended periods of time just to review paper documents.

Bowne's VDR enables authorized parties to simultaneously review documents around the clock, as 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 minimize internal disruption, focus on operations, and avoid speculative attention.

Due diligence can be completed in days instead of months – without travel expenses, scheduling hassles and costly delays.

Every Deal is Different.

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

We match a project manager and a support team with you, according to the specific expertise required. Our team includes attorneys, bankers, M&A experts, information technology, and other professionals with contextual knowledge.

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 six regional centers: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong and Toronto – the choice is yours.

Unparalleled Customer Service.

Data room web site construction and hosting is where our VDR service begins extending. Bowne's project management includes providing immediate response to your evolving needs; content modification, buyer access, index consultations and whatever else you require, 24x7.

Our project management call center and technical support are available around the clock. End user support is also sophisticated. Users can call our toll-free support number 877-332-5739 and speak directly to a knowledgeable representative – in any of over 150 languages.

Power Drives Simplicity.

Many VDRs claim to have easy user interfaces, but few deliver. Bowne Virtual Dataroom hides all the complexity, providing you with simple navigation and management, while still delivering 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.
