Merrill – DataSite (VDR) Capabilities - Accelerate the Due Dilegence Process!

Accelerate the due diligence process with Merrill DataSite™

A smart, secure virtual data room solution for financial transactions

Merrill DataSite is currently the only VDR provider in the industry to earn ISO 27001 certification, the most stringent and highly recognized security certification.

In the world of high-stakes M&A, execution is everything. Winners gain an edge by leveraging smart technology that transforms paper data rooms into virtual data rooms (VDRs), accessible via the Internet. Sellers save time, reduce costs and gain access to a wider audience of prospective buyers.

Now there is a better, faster way...Merrill DataSite.

Bring your deals to market quickly and securely

Merrill DataSite is a secure VDR solution that transforms the paper data room into an efficient, online room, accessible via the Internet. Sellers benefit in several ways:

Greater speed to market. You can set up a Merrill DataSite in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a paper data room. Your site can be up and running in two hours – and Merrill’s document specialists can scan, upload and organize thousands of pages of content from any source in 24 hours or less.

Accelerated due diligence review. Prospective buyers simply log into a secure Web browser at their convenience – anywhere, at any time. The entire process speeds up, since scheduled visits to a physical data room are no longer necessary. Travel time and costs are either completely eliminated or greatly reduced.

Reduced deal costs. Clerical, staffing and security costs typically associated with hosting a physical data room are eliminated. Sites are maintained on secure Merrill servers and prospective buyers view information via a secure Merrill Viewer that requires no additional software installation.

Greater competition. Sellers can invite multiple bidders to participate concurrently in the due diligence process – and potentially drive up asset valuation.

On-demand reporting on user activity. Detailed audit reports show exactly what information has been reviewed and by whom – invaluable intelligence in determining viewer’s true intent.

Turnkey support. Merrill DataSite handles all aspects of the virtual data room and provides expert support so that your team can focus on the deal.
