Donnelley Financial Solutions
Donnelley Financial Solutions is a perfect workspace disregarding the type of the deal, project, or industry requiring a virtual data room service.
VDRs by Donnelley Financial Solutions are equally suitable for due diligence, for fundraising, for communication with investors, for developing and managing document repositories.
The need to store and exchange sensitive corporate data, to interact with partners located in geographically remote areas, to instantly discuss the large volume of documents force businessmen to look for secure and highly functional virtual venues.
Donnelley Financial Solutions offers virtual environments capable of satisfying the demands of the most meticulous customers.
All the documents are encrypted, enhanced with dynamic watermarks, and accessible only for those who have passed the two-step verification procedure. To manage the information disclosure, the room administrators can ascribe users to different permission groups and monitor their activity with the help of audit reports available on demand.
Ease of use is guaranteed by the multilingual interface, full-text search feature, bulk uploads option, and Q&A section.
Also, Donnelley Financial Solutions developed mobile applications to provide users with an option of instant access to the data from any device at any moment.
Donnelley Financial Solutions knows that people in business care about their time and resources and expect the VDR to perform smoothly.
To avoid any possible inconveniences or malfunctioning, the company provides its customers with 24/7 qualified support – a team of experts is ready to assist the users and to facilitate the deal-making process.

* Donnelley Financial Solutions/Venue only displays 1 page of a document at a time. If you're reviewing a 50 page document and you want to go to previous pages of jump ahead to others, you have to wait for that page to be drawn. Want to go back to the original page? Yep, where you just were has to be redrawn again too.
* Want to search within a document? Not on Venue. Crtl+F doesn't work. Good luck paging through documents one by one trying to find the keyword in which you are interested.
* Does your PDF or docx file have a clickable table of contents in it? Not anymore one you upload it to the Venue platform. Good luck paging through the document one page at a time waiting each time for the page to be drawn.
* Venue uses popups and when you tell your browser to always allow popups for this site, some documents still get blocked.
* Venue doesn't allow your browser to index the page it is on... so the back button doesn't work. If you want to go back a folder in your repository, you have to back all the way out to the landing page and then drill back down into your library/repository.
* It's not clear if Venue supports SSO or not. Be prepared to have multiple accounts (desktop and Venue), passwords, and MFA tokens to get to your docs.
* Venue hogs resources. If you're in the platform all day we find our staff has to reboot daily to keep the browser from locking up.
We waste hours per week just trying to navigate this platform... our productivity is impacted using Donnelley Financial Solutions/Venue.
