Perivan, the UK’s leading financial printer, managed services and enterprise technology solutions provider and EthosData, a world-class, award winning, global Virtual Data Room specialist, have today announced a strategic partnership following the recent transfer of the Millnet Financial Printing business (EthosData’s previous UK partner) to Perivan.
Virtual data rooms for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become an increasingly vital part of the transaction process and have been used widely, not only in due diligence but across the whole deal timeline.
Every M&A transaction faces unique challenges, depending on the nature of the transaction itself, participants involved and where they are located, budget, or who has access to what documentation to name just a few. And just as every deal is different, there is a marketplace full of virtual data room providers claiming to make the process easier.
The use of virtual data rooms increases every year, and while North America remains the biggest user of the technology, Europe and Asia are rapidly catching up. The growth is driven mainly by a few key factors, which all fit comfortably under the heading of due diligence. Data room technology offers the ability to reach across borders. It speeds up processes by reducing time frames and frustrations of document access during high-level deals, and gives peace of mind to all parties involved.
Once you’ve identified your
virtual data room vendor, the deal enters the pre-due diligence stage. This includes putting in place the infrastructure needed to facilitate the due diligence process, prepare the documents and sign the required agreements between the client and the data room vendor. The steps in this phase depend on whether the process is seller-driven or buyer-driven.
Are you looking for secure file sharing solutions? You are not alone! Being able to share files and documents securely with third parties is one of the main challenges that companies face and ensuring security is at the heart of this need.

You will notice that most of these services come under consumer grade solutions. The ones that focus solely on security are business grade solutions. Some of the main differences in the two types of file sharing solutions are:
We have been providing virtual data room services in China since 2008. We made a big investment very early and through our partnership with HeterMedia our local service based in Beijing and our great platform, we believe that we have made our dataroom the leading player in the Chinese market.
The key to our sucess providing
dataroom services in China has been that we have always looked at the market locally. We are now taking another important step in the market introducing our new Chinese name. This is no small step and certainly reflects our commitment to the Chinese market.
A virtual data room provider´s perspective about scanning is very different to general public. We think it is an exciting topic!
We started offering virtual data room services 12 years ago. Back then, most of our datarooms projects included big scanning jobs. Right now most of our projects are all digital and although we still do a bit of scanning, most documents come to us digitized. In many cases, our clients and partners ask for advice regarding scanning.
