Data rooms are a better option to share confidential business information with third parties than free file-sharing services like Dropbox or Google Drive. They provide a customized user-friendly interface, with customizable branding and support for integration into existing IT systems and workflows. They are also equipped with important security functions such as restricted access such as audit trail, watermarking and fence view, which are vital for ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

It is essential to have tools that allow users to navigate large volumes of documents quickly, and locate the files they require. They provide the structure of the folder, a clear naming convention, indexing, and version control to enable users to easily locate documents by referencing keywords and metadata. They can help save time and effort by automating index numbering. This creates a clear map that users can follow when looking over files.

A data room can help simplify the review process, not only for investors but also other interested parties. Multiple users can read, access and comment on documents in real-time with parallel document viewing and annotation capabilities. This accelerates document turnaround and improves productivity.

A virtual data room is also able to facilitate communication with the stakeholders. It permits the creation a Q&A organized by topic. It also records questions and answers as well as a record of the outstanding issues. This helps both the seller and buyer to resolve any misunderstandings effectively and avoids information getting lost in the shuffle.
