A data room is an electronic space that secures sensitive and confidential documents. These are typically used to conduct due diligence in business transactions, IPOs, and court processes. Companies that require collaboration with multiple parties on shared projects also use data rooms.

Due diligence is simpler and quicker when you use the use of a virtual room. Virtual datarooms are cloud-based tool for sharing files that lets users access files from anywhere around the world, without the need for an in-person meeting. Virtual data rooms have advanced features, including document tracking as well as version control and easy collaboration.
