Testimonials
Hear what our customers have to say:
“…Whenever I need to sell a business in the future, I’ll use Merrill DataSite. This was a complicated project with a large number of bidders and an extensive amount of information to manage. Merrill had us up and running in a matter of days and provided a single point of contact for all our issues throughout the project. The level of dedicated support we received ensured that we had total confidence in how the transaction was progressing.”
Member of the Executive Committee, Allianz Capital Partners
“The customer support team was amazing … I leveraged pretty much every service they provided. My project manager would check in with me every day − sometimes we would even speak 10 times a day. There is absolutely no doubt I would use Merrill DataSite again and recommend it to my peers.”
Invitrogen Corporation
“We have been very pleased with the decision to go with Merrill DataSite and the folks in my company have found it a very useful tool to have.”

“Merrill provided Actis Capital with a very efficient and professional data room product which facilitated our complicated sales process. We found Merrill DataSite to be very user friendly for both the buyers and us, the sellers.”
Director, Actis Capital
“Merrill DataSite allowed us to focus on the transaction and on delivering value to our shareholders rather than managing paper. A huge gain of time! It allowed us to be more efficient and close the transaction in record time.”
Director, Axcan
“We had multiple parties involved in our asset sale and needed to provide them with easy access to the relevant information - fast. The on-site support from the data room services team was invaluable. And the speed in which Merrill DataSite’s VDR could be set up was a real advantage. We particularly liked that DataSite is designed to put the user in complete control. It even lets you create different file rooms for different groups of bidders, making it even more secure. And we were very pleased that we could call the DataSite support team whenever we needed to, 24 hours a day, helping us keep the process running quickly and smoothly.”
Director Internal Audit, Facilities & Special Projects, Truvo
“The Department for Transport contracted with Merrill DataSite during 2006/7 to provide a virtual data room for the management of the procurement of the East Midlands, West Midlands and New Cross Country passenger rail franchises. The service provided by Merrill, including the ability to handle large amounts of data and upload documents quickly, helped the department achieve its objective of procuring these three new franchises.”
Rail Procurement Manager, Department for Transport
“…Using a physical data room for a process involving several bidders slows down the auction process. That’s why we decided to take the VDR approach. The Merrill DataSite VDR helped us provide a number of remote users with access to due diligence information around the clock. With a range of intuitive tools, including alerts that notified every potential investor when information had been uploaded, the Merrill solution helped us work more effectively. The Report Manager tool also helped us to keep track of who was looking at which files. The fact that we have returned to the [Merrill]DataSite for the auction of further businesses confirms we have confidence in the solution.”
M&A Senior Manager, National Grid
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team…for the excellent support rendered during the course of the past one year. The use of virtual data room has enabled us to obtain significant savings in costs for the due diligence process.”
Finance Director, Kirloskar Group Search
“One of the big benefits of using Merrill DataSite is that we can invite our potential partners to start digging into the depths of documents early on, from the comfort of their own office and spend as much time looking as they wish. They will still want to come out and visit us, but when they do, the discussions are directed towards specific documents and specific issues, and the result is a much more fruitful meeting.”
Sr. Director, Quality Assurance, ARYx Therapeutics
“Merrill DataSite also enabled us to demonstrate that we had provided complete disclosure to the buyers. After the deal was completed, we had a period of one year in which the seller could ask for follow-up information that may not have been disclosed, and request liability as a result. According to the agreement, if the information was present in the DataSite, we were in compliance with disclosure. So in response to all requests, we demonstrated through the DataSite that our disclosure was perfect. The buyer didn’t find any ability to request liability to the seller because of this.”
