Frankfurt, August 7^th 2012 – At this year's Expo Real, Data Room Services (DRS, www.dataroomservices.com) presents it´s new virtual data room solution Drooms.

Due Diligence is at the very heart  of commercial real estate transactions. There can often be several thousand documents that require thorough checking by many due diligence specialists. This is a complex and highly secure process, which can now be managed more easily and transparently with Drooms.  DRS uniquely enables simultaneous controlled access for an unlimited number of people to vital transaction documents on both the buy and sell sides. Due to a new interface, new menu navigation and extensive search functions, Drooms is even more user friendly, resulting in significant time savings.

DRS's Managing Director, Jan Hoffmeister explains; "Our new data room solution sustainably optimises the Buy Side and Vendor due diligenceWe designed  Drooms to be the next generation of the virtual data room."

Drooms provides in real time a clear presentation of all contents present in the virtual data room due to the high speed of uploads as well as the display of documents, such as contracts, settlements, powers of attorney or technical documents. "Drooms can easily save over 100,000 Euros compared to other market solutions just through the display of the documents in real time, even for medium-sized transactions", Hoffmeister emphasizes. When you have a large amount of data that needs to be managed, a delay of only a few seconds in the document display can lead to  a loss of several weeks. According to DRS's Jan Hoffmeister, there can often be several thousand documents require thorough checking by many due diligence specialists. The cost of any delays caused can be enormous.

Drooms provides a clear overview of the complete documentation, which is very important, since a recent survey of the Real Estate Advisory Group (REAG) shows that documentation of poor quality can negatively impact purchase prices by up to ten percent so that the real estate industry experiences losses in the billions every year through financial transactions.
