Mergers software is a set of digital tools platforms, applications, and platforms which facilitate collaboration, data analysis, and decision-making at every stage of M&A. This includes due diligence, valuation screen and deal M&A transactions sourcing, M&A modeling, post-merger integration management, as well as other. M&A solutions typically incorporate features that allow teams to streamline workflows and automate tasks and also to help with regulatory compliance and protect data privacy and security via encryption, access control, and other safeguards.
M&A models should be capable of importing a broad array of information from sources such as operational metrics, financial statements, market research and data, regulatory information, and much more, all of which can be used to create multi-dimensional models. They should also be agile and adaptable to the requirements of various users, from attorneys through payment processors. Quantrix is a perfect example of this type of tool, providing an array of powerful modeling capabilities, ranging from discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis to merger consequences analysis, and sensitivity analysis.
Some vendors provide more than just M&A capabilities. They also offer an array of tools and services, such as virtual datarooms or research databases. Grata, for example, has a database that may be searched based on the location of the business, the type of business, or industry. Each listing also contains verified executive contact details. It does not publish pricing, but will provide one upon request. SS&C Intralinks offers a complete M&A platform that is further enhanced by tools such as DealRoom and Expanding Topics.
