INTRODUCTION
With our stock markets almost nearing all-time highs, financial experts are predicting a surge in IPO offerings in the coming months. The IPO process is one of the most important, complex, costly and time-consuming event for a growing business. During this period a company has to manage large amounts of information and its accompanying analysis, as well as allow its financial scrutiny by a whole lot of investors, auditors, regulators, investment bankers, lawyers and accountants. But you need to share this in a highly safe, secure and controlled environment, efficiently in terms of both time and money. This is where Virtual Data Room comes in to the picture.
VDRs are increasingly gaining importance and powering transactions of the investment banking community during IPOs, fund raising as well as merger and acquisitions. A VDR is most valued during an IPO for the following reasons:
Saves Time and Money
Since a VDR is an online repository of data it can be accessed from anywhere and at any time. There is no need of a physical data room or travelling great distances for meetings or to check on the documents, this results in a lot of savings in terms of costs as well as time. Its saves a lot of overheads on office and storage space, staff salaries, printing and paper, site-security. VDRs lead to greater efficiency and faster decision making.
Proper Organisation, Management and Planning of Data for Public Analysis and Scrutiny
The success or failure of your IPO depends upon the proper presentation of your data to the investors. The various data organisation tools of the VDR makes it easier for you to present and manage your data impressively and securely. Since all the documents are stored in one place, it is easy to keep a track of them ensuring a smoother, more efficient process and work flow management as well as process compliance and data transparency.
Data Security
Protecting the confidential intellectual property and other financial data before, during and after an IPO is of utmost importance. The VDR that stores your critical business data is both digitally and physically secured with 24×7 security personnel as well as back-up generators and even back-up servers. Multiple firewalls protect the servers from cyber-attacks and highest commercial grade end-to-end encryption protects it at every step of the data storage process.
Real Time Analytics and Reporting
VDRs have built-in real time analytics and reporting features that give you insight about your investors.An IPO involves countless hours of work and collaboration with multiple parties, a VDR is the best collaborative on-line platform that provides you multi-layered security with an intuitive interface that’s so crucial for your IPO’s success.
