Virtual Data Room

A data room is set up as part of the Mergers & Acquisitions process as a central repository of data relating to companies or divisions being acquired or sold.

The need to establish a physical data room often creates issues relating to premises, access and supervision. Confidentiality is paramount and strict controls for viewing, copying and printing must be imposed. The need to "bring people to the data" or to distribute key documents by courier or post can hamper the due diligence process considerably.

The Virtual Data Room utilises Preview's eView+ image archive to provide a web based repository for all materials relating to the sale.
