Mergers software includes a wide range of digital tools as well as platforms designed to facilitate collaboration as well as analysis, data management, and decision-making at all phases of M&A activity. This includes due diligence valuation screen and deal sourcing, M&A modeling, post-merger integration management, and many more. M&A solutions offer tools that aid teams in automating and streamline tasks, support compliance with regulatory requirements and ensure the security of data and privacy by using encryption and access control, as well as other security measures.
M&A models should be capable of importing a wide variety of source data including financial statements, operational metrics including market research and data as well as regulatory information and more – all of which can then be used to create multi-dimensional models. They must also be flexible and scalable to meet the needs of different users, ranging from lawyers to payment processors. Quantrix is a powerful software that provides a range of modeling capabilities, from discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) to merger effects analysis and sensitive analysis is an excellent example.
Some vendors offer more than the basic M&A capabilities. They also offer more tools and services such as virtual datarooms or research databases. Grata is one such example. It provides a database that can be searched by locations, business or industry. Each listing also contains confirmed contact information for executive executives. Grata does not offer pricing but will provide it upon request. SS&C Intralinks offers a complete M&A platform that is complemented by tools such as DealRoom and Expanding Topics.
