DRS Data Sourcing

Building the Master Data Room

If you are preparing a large sell-side transaction, or simply getting documents ready to expedite a sell-side deal when market conditions are right, the biggest task at the start is setting up the master data room containing the many and various documents your bidders will need to examine.

DRS's data sourcing service takes care of all the time-consuming intricacies of setting up your master data room, freeing up your team to concentrate on the deal at hand.

Step by step to your master data room:

1. We assign a professional, dedicated, project manager to work with your team, help you assess your needs, and plan the many tasks involved in preparing the master data room. You decide what tasks DRS can best help you with.
2. We help you sift through and gather documents in your offices or archives, sort them, and prepare them for the data room. Depending on the nature of the deal, this can involve handling many thousands of documents in a very short time.
3. As needed, our team will help you create the requisite comprehensive index to the documents to be deposited in the master data room.
4. If you have decided to use a virtual data room to facilitate your deal, we will scan all documents collected for the master data room, index them, and ready them for retrieval online.
5. We also scan selected documents (if you are using a mix of physical and virtual data rooms, for example) or all documents to create a digital copy, even if you are not using a virtual data room. As needed, we will also create hard copies of all documents in the master data room.
6. Using our well-honed quality control tools, our team verifies that all documents selected for the master data room are present and accounted for.
