M&A Customer Testimonials

“Novalar recently completed an important sell-side M&A deal using ShareVault. The buyer found the ShareVault interface to be very intuitive and easy to learn, navigate and use. This was their first exposure to a virtual data room and they were very impressed with ShareVault's excellent performance. From our standpoint, we didn't encounter a single problem or technical issue with ShareVault. It downloaded documents in seconds and unlike other VDRs, did not require a lot of steps to complete each task. As an administrator, it was very easy to learn and use which simplified the process considerably and made ShareVault a very cost effective solution."

Derek Kelaita, Senior Director,
Corporate Development, Novalar Pharmaceuticals.

“The ability to use ShareVault from a user perspective was straight-forward, intuitive and easy to learn. More importantly, the administrator we assigned for ShareVault was able to learn the procedures for set up of the file structure and for how to control access in a rapid fashion. The tracking metrics were great, allowing us on a real time basis to see who had been accessing each document and for how long they were logged in. ShareVault remained up and running during the entire sale process. I was very happy with the selection of ShareVault and felt that it contributed to the ability to complete our process on a timely basis."

Mark Fischer-Colbrie, former CFO,
Adeza Biomedical.

“ShareVault was a tremendous asset to facilitate our recent deal in several ways. Most important, ShareVault was “there” when anyone, from either side, had data room questions or needs. ShareVault is very intuitive, and the buy-side appreciated the ease-of-use and responsiveness."

Jim McCarthy, former Sr. Vice President,
Corporate Development, EGEN, Inc.
